Bloodbound Bride

On her wedding night, Vivian Ashcroft finds her family’s crest stamped across the land deeds in her vampire husband’s study—and realizes Lucas Croft helped destroy everything she loved. Before she can flee, his fangs press to her throat, and their blood-bound marriage seals her fate. Sold by her bankrupt father to the coldest lord in the vampire realm, Vivian vows to stay close, uncover the truth, and make Lucas pay. But the more she investigates, the more his cruel silence looks like a shield—and every stolen touch burns away the hatred she swore to keep. As the vampire council closes in and whispers reveal her supposedly dead brother may still be alive, Vivian discovers Lucas is trapped by a blood oath to the very elder who ordered her family’s massacre. Now she must choose: expose the husband who may be her family’s killer—or trust the man secretly destroying himself to protect her.
