Craving in His Blood

I’m the fated mate he never wanted . . . and the human that will bring him to his knees.

In this red-hot monster romance, discover insatiable passions and fantastical alien worlds—a standalone novel in the USA Today bestselling Brides of the Kylorr series.

I grew up flitting around different galaxies, immersing myself in fascinating cultures, and rubbing noses with socialites. Coming to Krynn was a new chapter, a permanent place to finally call home.

But when tragedy strikes and I’m suddenly alone, broke, and desperate, I take work at an establishment where the Kylorr—blood-drinking, winged, fearsome aliens with berserker-like rages—come to feed on willing necks to satisfy their fierce hunger.

That’s where I meet him. Kythel of House Kaalium, the ruler of Erzos, with his mesmerizing eyes like fractured ice and a sinful voice that captivates me.

We’re polar opposites. I’m a hopeful optimist who always looks for silver linings. He’s guarded and mistrustful, a wealthy heir to a powerful legacy, who thrives on rigid, unbending control. Yet he craves my blood with a frenzy that maddens him, and he’ll stop at nothing to claim me.

But when the forbidden desire between us becomes too tempting to resist, I fear it will destroy us both . . . especially when an impossible choice between duty or love threatens to be our undoing.
