21-year-old Angeline enters London's world of wealth, extravagance and deceiving smiles when she becomes the protégé of a powerful and seductive vampire. She wants access to his connections to start her career in fine art dealing. He yearns for her delectable, one-of-a-kind blood. And perhaps... more. ************** "You're depraved," she growled, her voice not quite like herself. "I am, yes." He flashed her another inviting smile. "Utterly and irrevocably depraved, Angeline. In more ways than you could possibly imagine beyond your deepest, darkest desires." Copyright © 2025 Lucy Rainard Start: 16 November 2025

The city of Sylvira is alive with secrets and unseen eyes. Fleurelle had never been the one for theatrics. She hated the idea of being a damsel in distress, always navigating life quietly and avoiding trouble wherever she could. Yet life seemed determined to entangle her in shadows she could not ignore. One encounter changes everything. He was pale as moonlight, cold as ice, eyes deep hazel that flickered like dying embers, voice smooth and unsettling, every movement deliberate, shadows clinging to him as if the night itself obeyed. Hunger, patience, and danger radiated from him in equal measure and Fleurelle felt it in her bones before she even realized. If life were a playwright, it had a cruel sense of humor. Fleurelle might have preferred to remain the master of her own story, but fate had other plans, and the stage had already been set.
