First published 2015
Leila traded carnival life for something far more complicated: becoming a vampire married to Vlad, the most notorious vampire in existence. She struggles to master her new supernatural abilities while navigating marriage to a legendary predator. Her education takes a deadly turn when an ancient enemy emerges to challenge Vlad. This foe possesses centuries of experience and power that rivals Vlad's own, with influence spanning multiple continents. The enemy identifies Leila as Vlad's vulnerability and targets her accordingly. Vlad experiences an unfamiliar emotion: genuine fear for someone else's safety. His protective instincts intensify, but his controlling behavior pushes Leila away precisely when they need unity most. Former allies turn against them while enemies circle closer. Leila must prove she can survive in Vlad's dangerous world, while Vlad confronts the possibility that his love for her might destroy them both. Their bond faces the ultimate test as external threats and internal conflicts collide.
