Sired by the Vampire Lord

She has read the truth in ten thousand drops of blood. The vampire lord wants the one secret hers still keeps - and he will taste every drop to find it.

Alys is a blood-letter, the cold-handed reader who can name a sickness, a lineage, a lie from a single bead drawn at the wrist. She has bled the dying and the powerful alike and never once flinched. Blood does not frighten a woman who has spent her life reading it.

Then the lord of the night house sends for her - ancient, fanged, unhurried, a creature who has drunk from a thousand throats and been satisfied by none of them. Something in her blood speaks to him the way no other ever has. And a vampire who has wanted nothing in three hundred years has decided he wants her, wholly, kept close in his dark for as long as he endures.

Alys tells herself she serves him to survive, that she reads his house the way she reads a wound, that she will find the way out any day now. She tells herself that right up until the lord shows her exactly how completely he means to keep what he has finally found worth keeping.

He has had the blood of kings. He hungers only for her - every drop, every secret, every way there is.

A dark, possessive monster romance with an obsessive immortal who claims what's his, sultry heat, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Size difference. Fated mates. Standalone.
