About this book
Elijah is a king defined by blood, obedience, and an ancient power that forces even death to bow. For centuries, he has moved through the shadows of vampire courts, untouchable and cold, until he discovers Selena. She is a mortal hunter hiding in the ruins of her life, a woman whose resilience and fire defy every law he has ever written. What begins as a possessive desire to claim a beautiful object quickly spirals into a dangerous obsession that threatens to dismantle his empire.
This dark fantasy romance masterfully weaves the tension of a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers dynamic into a decadent historical setting. As Selena is thrust into the treacherous world of vampire royalty, she finds herself caught between a man who is both her protector and her greatest threat. Their connection is a volatile, blood-soaked waltz where trust is a liability and every touch carries the weight of a secret.
For readers craving high-stakes paranormal romance, this captivating installment offers more than just breathless chemistry. It delivers a rich, atmospheric world filled with rising ancients and hidden betrayals. If you are looking for a story where forbidden love collides with lethal majesty, prepare to lose yourself in this unforgettable, hauntingly beautiful journey.

Another wild ride with these hotter than hell vampires and their women! Oh Elijah who would have thought Selena would be the woman who returns to you and melts your dark heart?

Well, I guess you could say trying to cover up your mistake ended up being a good thing. One thing I will say is I didn't really understand how she was alive while not.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. )
