Marked

Niyla Grey was born into power - and a prison. The daughter of Ezra Grey, a ruthless vampire lord feared across the sea and shrouded in secrets, Niyla has spent her life under his control, haunted by the disappearance of her sister and the growing darkness in his court. When she's promised to Laurel, Ezra's brutal enforcer, Niyla knows obedience will mean the death of her soul - if not her life.

Her only chance at freedom lies in the ocean... and in the arms of Kaiel "Kai" Thomas, a disciplined merchant ship captain who wants nothing to do with politics, vampires, or forbidden desire. But when a stolen night ignites more than passion, Niyla accidentally marks Kai - binding them with ancient vampire magic that ties their fates, their bodies, and their hearts.

Now, Kai is marked for death. And Niyla is at the center of a deadly prophecy: a child born of vampire and human blood will bring about the fall of Ezra Grey. As enemies close in, the heat between them becomes a fire they can't resist - and a war they may not survive.

Desire was never part of the plan.

But love? Love could rewrite destiny.

In a world of bloodlines, betrayal, and forbidden magic, the bond between a runaway vampire and a mortal captain might be the spark that sets the empire ablaze.
