Bloodline Bloodlust

Caralee Isabelle Sheiffer has lived an unremarkable life. Orphaned and raised in the wake of revolution, she never imagined that someone as insignificant as her—a servant, a shadow on the edge of history—could descend from a powerful, ancient bloodline thought have to been long extinguished. But as her eighteenth birthday approaches, a chill surges through her veins. Why would a powerful stranger seek to take her away—a girl with no family, no past, and no place in the world? The answer lies in a legacy erased from history, steeped in blood and hidden behind veils of secrecy. Her heart belongs to Donovan, a handsome, young nobleman who offers her love, loyalty, and a comfortable future filled with joy. Yet, she is irresistibly drawn to Merrick, a terrifyingly alluring figure whose icy gaze stirs her darkest cravings. One represents safety. The other, passion. One, the light. The other, the night. Bound by fate, Caralee is thrust into a world of political deceit, forbidden desire, and awakening vampiric power. Enemies lurk in plain sight and truth is clouded by mystery. She will have to choose between loyalty and lust, duty and desire. Will she walk the path of eternal night to reclaim a birthright of power? Seek vengeance? Or will she sacrifice it all for love—and risk being rejected by the very light she clings to? Can she decide before darkness consumes her?
