No Escape from the Vampire

On her 18th birthday banquet, Selina, the heiress of a legendary vampire hunter clan, is offered as a peace offering by her own father to Lucien, the cold, bloodthirsty Vampire Emperor. She would rather die than submit. She bites his lip to draw blood and draw a line between them at their wedding, climbs out the castle window at midnight in a desperate escape, and even drives a dagger toward his heart when he is consumed by desire. But Lucien is determined to tame this thorny rose. He imprisons her in his ancient castle, tears apart the deadly siren for her, stands his entire vampire clan, and refuses to let go even when she wounds him. The blood bond ties the fates of these two mortal enemies inextricably together. The more she tries to run, the more her body betrays her, pulling her irresistibly toward him. Dark currents swirl beneath the castle's stone walls, and deadly dangers lurk in the shadows. Will this forbidden love born of possession end in bitter betrayal or all-consuming surrender?
