This story has been published on Amazon and KU! Claire must deceive a vampire prince while resisting her desire for him. *** Nothing in my life has ever been easy. Including the mission my family has sent me on. My sister and I have traveled to the vampire stronghold to convince Prince Bastien of House Allard to take me as his next sanguine partner-the woman he'd feed from-in order to spy on the monarchy. I hate his kind. I find the prince irritating and smug. But I'd do anything to protect my family, which means I have to get close to him. With my family's lives on the line, I'll do whatever it takes. Even if that means letting this monster bite me.
