Marked For Eternity

Eric Northman has walked this earth for over a thousand years, ancient and powerful beyond measure. He doesn't do obsession. He doesn't do vulnerability. He doesn't do love.
Then he sees Jason Stackhouse at Merlotte's Bar, and every rule he's ever made shatters.
It starts as a hunt. Jason is beautiful, uncomplicated, and utterly unaware of the supernatural world surrounding him-perfect prey for a vampire who's decided he wants to own this human completely. Eric uses glamour and manipulation to pull Jason deeper, layer by layer, into a web of supernatural compulsion and genuine desire. He tells himself it's possession. It's control. It's his.
But as Jason transforms from a confused human into Eric's devoted vampire companion, something unexpected happens. The compulsion echoes with real feeling. The ownership becomes partnership. The obsession evolves into love that neither of them saw coming.
What begins as predatory manipulation becomes something neither of them can imagine living without. And when Jason finally has the choice to leave, to be free, he chooses to stay-not because of magic, but because it's what he wants.
In a story that blurs the line between possession and devotion, between darkness and love, Eric and Jason discover that sometimes the most unbreakable bonds are the ones we choose, even when we start out as hunter and prey.
This is a story about obsession, transformation, and finding eternity with the person who sees you completely-consequences be damned.
Contains: Explicit sexual content, vampire dynamics, master/pet relationships, manipulation that evolves into genuine love, and themes of dependency and devotion.
