Not a Hero. A Different Kind of Monster.
Lot saved the dude. But can she get the guys and live chaotically ever after?
Lot has been a vampire for six months and immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be. Josef thinks she's his personal damsel-in-distress, Bran thinks it's all his fault, and Lot thinks she doesn't need supervision to avoid accidentally eating the neighbours. She'd only do that on purpose.
Josef's overprotectiveness only tightens the tension between him and Lot. Josef loves her but Lot doesn't know how to name what she feels for him. She would never leave Bran. She doesn't want to be without Josef. And Bran doesn't want to lose either of them.
They'll have to sort themselves out to solve the mystery of an energy stealing supernatural prowling the city who might find the power of two old vampires too delicious to resist. And a quash a human threat from Bran and Josef's past seeks to break the trio apart.
Lot is about to learn; if you live long enough, everything comes back around.
A slowburn polyamorous gothic romance/horror with vampires, vigilantes, and Victorians.

The Vampire's Crimson Kiss (Editing)
Victoria is given by her father, the King of the Barren Lands, to the Vampire Duke Sadisman as a hostage. She is a gift from her people as a peace offering. As part of the bargain, Duke has promised, "She will not be sired, she will not be fed upon, she will not be tasted, her skin will remain unbroken, and her chastity unchallenged by those under my domain." Victoria's life as the only human guest in the vampire's Black Keep, which humans call the 'Cradle of Filth,' isn't as simple as she hopes. The Duke is a cruel, dangerous man, as lethal as he is strong, and as troubled as he is scalding hot. A man comfortable with breaking a promise if it suits him but smart enough not to lightly restart a bitter war that weakens his coven. He is also the master of an ancient, powerful vampire coven. In it, Victoria must find a way to survive in a nest of remorseless plotters and schemers. Over time, Victoria withstands Sadismann's punishments and learns a grudging respect for him. She makes friends with some of the human familiars, and with them, she must uncover the truth. Is The Duke unraveling the centuries of pain and learning to feel something he has not felt before? Or is this another plot within a plot? While she knows the vampire treachery, Victoria begins to feel emotions she is scared of. Can she survive her year as a hostage to the vampire overlord? Can the vampire overlord survive a year without breaking his vows? Book #1 of the Crimson Crown series. Currently Editing and in Revision, upgraded chapters weekly.

This is a rough first draft Part 1/Book One-ish currently not available and in the professional editing stage for publishing. Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper.
