When Nikolai first met Keira, she did something no one had managed in centuries.
She challenged him.

Fierce, stubborn, and entirely human, she ignited a hunger in the ancient vampire he never expected to feel again. What began as fascination quickly became something far more dangerous.

Because Keira isn't just a distraction.

She's his arranged bride.

Promised to Nikolai at eighteen to secure the future of the Sanguis Coven, Keira steps into a world of blood, power, and ancient rules she barely understands. What was meant to be a political union soon becomes something neither of them can control.

The tension between them burns hotter with every stolen glance, every sharp word, every moment their restraint begins to slip.

But the bond that's meant to tie them together is older and more delicate than either of them realizes.

Lust turns into something deeper.
Desire becomes devotion.
And secrets buried within the coven threaten to tear them apart before they can even understand what they've become to each other.

Because in a world ruled by blood and power, love isn't just dangerous.

It's forbidden.
