Bound By Blood

His blood saved her life. Now every heartbeat pulls her closer to the vampire who refuses to let her go. ER nurse Kira Venn trusts medicine, facts, and her own ability to stay calm when everything falls apart. Then a supernatural attack leaves her dying from something no human doctor can treat. Caelum Morvyn is a lethal Vampire Warden sworn to enforce the laws of his kind. Giving Kira his blood should have been a temporary act of mercy. Instead, it creates an illegal bond that ties their bodies, instincts, and darkest desires together. Now Kira cannot stay away from him for long without her body beginning to fail. Caelum claims his guarded residence is the only place she will be safe, but his protection feels dangerously close to possession. Every feeding strengthens the connection between them. Every shared pulse makes it harder to tell where survival ends and desire begins. And the more fiercely Caelum tries to protect her, the more Kira fears the bond is taking away her ability to choose. But the attack was never meant to kill her. A ruthless blood-magic faction engineered Kira's transformation, and they intend to use her connection to Caelum as a weapon. Hunted through a rain-soaked city ruled by ancient laws, Kira must trust the vampire whose blood keeps her alive without surrendering the independence she has fought to preserve. Because Caelum is not the only danger inside the bond. Kira can feel his hunger. And he can feel every time she wants him. Bound by Blood is the first book in The Warden's Law trilogy, a dark vampire romance featuring a forbidden blood bond, forced proximity, a possessive protector, supernatural enemies, open-door heat, and a same-couple romance that continues across the series.
