She's lived her whole life in the shadows of her mother's secrets.

When Diantha Moro starts the last semester of her master's program at University of Echidna, she only has one thing on her mind: getting into the catacombs underneath campus so she can finally break the curse that's keeping her mother trapped in the realm between life and death. With little time for anything else, she keeps most people at arm’s length. Until the first night of her Medieval relics lecture, when a beautiful stranger walks through the door...several minutes late.

He's not like other vampires. He's worse.

Orfeo DiPaolo is an Italian vampire. Yes, it's important to know he's Italian, because unlike other vamps, he can touch garlic. He can also wear a crucifix and instead of being extremely cold, his skin is always pleasantly, deliciously hot. And Orfeo, against all odds, can still feel love. It's his Achilles heel and the reason he's trapped under the thumb of a moronic demon crime boss, working off a blood debt. He lets his life pass in a never-ending carousel of violence, university classes, beautiful women, and unfulfilling sex, never allowing himself to imagine freedom. That is, until he meets the enigmatic Diantha.

As the sleepy town of Echidna becomes colonized by evil supernatural forces, Diantha and Orfeo realize they're the only two that can stop them before its too late. But neither Diantha nor Orfeo are very good at group projects. Especially once they realize there's something more powerful than demons, vampires, and family curses between them. Something so powerful, it might just change their lives forever.

Now, her destiny is undeniable. His surrender is her strength.

"In My Italian Vampire, B.C. Dolce understands the PROMISE of the PREMISE. This book is sexy, campy, demon-hunty, super-cunty fun and I adored every minute of it. Orfeo is the down bad, brooding vampire of my dreams, and Diantha is a bad bitch who can handle her own even while she visits with her dead mom in some in-between space and deals with pretentious night school professors. If you're looking for a romance filled with bloodlust and regular old-fashioned lust, look no further-this one drove a stake through my heart and left me wanting more."

Alicia Thompson, USA Today Bestselling Author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

"Dripping with delicious sexual tension, demons, and a hilarious heroine. B.C. Dolce's paranormal romance debut gives us a fun new take on vampirism with a hero I'd probably let bite me."

Riss M. Neilson, USA Today Bestselling Author

"Fresh, compelling, and utterly hilarious. The brilliance of B.C. Dolce is that she knows exactly what strings to pull and when to tell a funny, smart and wholly immersive story. This reawakened my love of paranormal romance in one enchanting fell swoop."
