Heart of Cold : A Dracula Romance story

“In Heart of Cold, Burr Martin offers a restrained and atmospheric reimagining of the vampire legend. Set against the quiet rhythms of small-town life, the novel finds its strength not in spectacle but in the quiet ache of longing and the passage of time.”

“Martin’s prose is unhurried and reflective, allowing the romance at the center of Heart of Cold to unfold with patience. The result is a story that feels less like a thriller and more like a meditation on loneliness, memory, and what it means to remain human.”

“A somber, atmospheric love story that treats the Dracula myth with unexpected tenderness.”

“At times deliberately paced, Heart of Cold nonetheless rewards readers who appreciate mood and character over action. Martin’s portrayal of Vlad is thoughtful and unusually humane.”

In the golden autumn of 1956, small-town vet Clara Bennett is used to fixing broken things, but she’s never met a soul like the mysterious stranger Vlad Dracul. 

Yet when Vlad arrived in Willow Creek, he doesn't just capture Clara’s heart.

He becomes a mentor to Elias, a young boy searching for a hero in a world that often sees the color of skin first, while becoming a pain in the neck for Chad, Clara's ex-boyfriend with a high tech vet service. 

As Vlad and Clara share stolen glances over marachino cherries, lime green jello and a deepening bond in the quiet of the clinic, a dark shadow from Vlad’s ancient past arrives in the quiet town, threatening to tear them apart. 

In a race against time and a secret five centuries in the making, Clara must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart for a man who has lived a thousand lives but finally found his home in her arms.
