Survive vampire court while healing a cursed lord with her fading life.
Ella Evans bears a gift that kills her: every wound she mends steals her own breath. Cast off by a stepfamily that loathes her, she walks into a vampire's fortress as a substitute bride, choosing the unknown over certain misery. Inside, the dreaded lord Kyle Ventrue battles a savage curse that her touch alone can quiet. Their bond becomes a lifeline, yet the aristocratic court circles like sharks, hungry for her rare essence. Kyle swears to keep her breathing, but every caress inches her closer to the end.
