A mate. Something she didn't want. Something she didn't need. Being mated to a human was the last thing she expected.

Rose Powell only wanted to help a wounded man. But some strangers don't belong to the living world. And some kindnesses come with a price.

They told her to be quiet. To be good. But Debs felt everything-too deeply, too young. Between blood, heartbreak, and desire, she became something they never saw coming. This is her becoming-wild, wounded, and dangerously alive.

A heart that falters without reason. An illness no cure can touch. Behind it all lies a secret older than centuries, a bond spun from blood and fate. Vera, a gifted violinist, has lived her whole life with this fragile condition, never knowing her soul still carries the echo of a love torn apart. Selene, a vampire who has walked the night for ages, has searched endlessly for the one she lost-the bride stolen from her by those who condemned their forbidden vow. When their paths cross again, memory awakens, and the crimson thread between them pulls tighter. To heal the heart and reclaim their love, they must face the shadows of the past-and the enemies who would see them separated once more.
