I suspect that the pararom wolfpire would indeed make your fortune.
Well, let's not go that far.
I'm equally sure that you could write it as a total send-up, but in a way that would make earnest pararom readers think you meant it...while those of us who know your work would enjoy it for a whole different set of reasons.
This is what I'd try to do. Given I can't, myself, take it seriously.
If you think of it, next time you're at the library see if they have Dave Barry's "I'll Mature When I'm Dead" essay collection. He includes his own pararom parody, "Fangs of Endearment", that still makes me giggle when I read it.
