Ever since a terrible fire killed her older son, one
ambition has ruled Countess Lazlaric. Desperate to continue
the family legacy, she is determined that her rakehell
second son wed and produce an heir. Now, she’s found the
perfect bride. A distant relative, writing to beg for help,
is ideal for her secret plans.Alone in the world, beautiful
raven-haired Senna Landseth finds more than just Drom
Manor’s isolation sending a shiver down her spine. Countess
Lazlaric seems overly eager to welcome her, strange noises
fill the cavernous corridors of the gloomy manor, and she
senses she is being spied upon. Then a note mysteriously
appears, inscribed with chilling words: “I’m watching you.
Nicolai.”In the years since the fire that supposedly
destroyed him, Nicolai Lazlaric has inhabited the world of a
vampire, consumed with seeking revenge on the creature who
turned him. Now, it is time to return to Drom Manor. But
Nicolai has no idea how badly the Countess wants an heir—or
that his hated brother’s prospective bride is residing
there. Senna’s unexpected presence upends Nicolai’s plans,
for he can think only of possessing the beautiful innocent,
of taking her in a blood-binding seduction from which she
will never escape. . . .
