Blood and Buttercups (A Vampire's Guide to Gardening Book 1)

Piper Edwards runs a flower farm and tends her garden until she receives a diagnosis that changes everything: she is pre-vampiric and must take synthetic blood and attend vampire support groups. Within a month, she discovers that the regular visitor to her farmer's market stall is a vampire—and he has been stalking her. She also learns that vampires have numerous dietary options beyond prescription synthetic blood, including subscription services for exotic animal blood. The government assigns a conservator to all infected individuals to help them adjust to their new circumstances and diet. Piper's conservator is Noah, a recently demoted hunter who is described as attractive. He assists her at medical appointments and addresses her stalker problem. This is the first book in A Vampire's Guide to Gardening series, a fantasy romance that combines humor and chemistry between the main characters. It includes practical advice for maintaining a flower gardening business while managing a new sensitivity to sunlight. The series features closed-door romance with passionate kisses and innuendo, but no explicit scenes.
