HE DOESN'T NEED LOVE.
HE NEEDS CONTROL.
For years, Lucian Monteverde has mastered both. As a powerful dhampir ruling a corporate empire in a city built on cold secrets, Lucian lives by a singular, ironclad rule: Never get attached to humans.
To him, blood is a commodity. Humans are temporary.
Until Serena.
Serena Valdez was never supposed to cross into his world. Wealthy, fearless, and unnervingly composed, she walked into his office as a mere secretary unfazed by the monsters in tailored suits and untouched by the shadows that haunt his halls. She knows exactly what he is, yet she doesn't flinch.
But the moment he tasted her... everything shattered.
To every other vampire, her blood is ordinary.
To Lucian? It is a lethal addiction. A nectar so intoxicating it threatens to burn his empire to the ground.
As obsession replaces logic, the walls begin to close in. A vengeful fiancée watches from the dark. A ruthless vampire leader demands his total submission. And rival dhampirs are already scenting the air, hunting the prize Lucian refuses to share.
Serena isn't running. She doesn't fear him. And she certainly doesn't belong to him.
But in a world where blood is the ultimate currency, she is his only debt. His only weakness.
His Only Blood.
