Overview

The Veins of Lost A Star in the Spotlight, A Vampire in the Shadows A Gay Paranormal Romance Set in the Gritty Underworld of Los Angeles A rising star. A vampire kingpin. A city that feeds on fame, blood, and forbidden desire.

Keyon came to Los Angeles chasing fame—a dreamer with a dancer’s body, big ambition, and a glow too bright for the city’s shadows to ignore. He’s not just beautiful. He’s magnetic. The kind of man everyone wants to claim. But in LA—the city of lost angels—dreams don’t just come true. They cost.

DeShawn Banks is the king of the underground, a vampire mob boss with power, secrets, and a hunger older than the city itself. He doesn’t just run LA’s supernatural elite—he feeds off them. But when he sees Keyon—radiant, raw, and dangerously naive—he knows the city will eat him alive… unless he claims him first.

What begins as a dark game of protection quickly unravels into a powerful, slow-burning connection neither of them expected. As Keyon is pulled deeper into the world of vampire clubs, celebrity predators, and magical power plays, something awakens inside him—something ancient, something divine. And DeShawn? He might be the only one strong enough to handle it.

In a city that blends red carpets with blood rituals, and fame with fangs, love isn’t soft—it’s dangerous.
