The night he was bound to me was the beginning of my reinvention.
I’ve fallen into a rut. Between doting on my proselyte, trying to avoid my ex-wife, and dealing with the doldrums of vampire society, everything seems the same from night to night.
But when my sire becomes one of the highest ranked vampire nobles, she gives me a “gift”—Charles Mae Kenova, a sociopathic low-blood criminal bound to me as a so-called bodyguard. He trashes my apartment, attempts to kill my proselyte, and wants nothing more than for me to see the sun for the first time in nearly eighty years.
The feeling’s mutual.
Even so, something about him still rouses my blood for the first time in decades…
After my sire orders us to find a pair of vampires who defected from our monarchy, things get even worse. My powers start going on the fritz, the intrepid Mr. Kenova’s fellow childes start trying to kill us, and we get tangled into a conspiracy that goes all the way up to the top of vampire society.
But at least I won’t fall in love again.
Right…?
