The night he was bound to me was the first night of my reinvention. I always wanted a quiet life. But when my sire becomes one of the highest ranked vampire nobles, she gives me a “gift.” A criminal bound to me as a so-called bodyguard. Charles Mae Kenova. Sociopath. Low-blood. A cult leader who was stupid enough to get caught. Everything I should hate as a high-blood. Even so, he rouses my blood for the first time in decades… Bound together by a ring and collar which give him double any wounds I take, so he won’t instantly kill me and skip town, we’re forced together into an uneasy existence. But even though he can’t hurt me, doesn’t mean he can’t make my life a living hell. He trashes my apartment, tries to kill my proselyte, and wants nothing more for me to see the sun for the first time in over eighty years. The feeling’s mutual. But after my powers start spiraling out of control, and he’s the only person who can stop them, I’m forced to trust him with my magic and my second life—even though he might become my undoing. Bound by Blood is a dark paranormal romance between a stuck up NB vampire noble and their so-called bodyguard. This book takes place in the same universe as the Call Your Name Quartet and the Fallen Justice Trilogy, but can be read as a standalone. Please check the CWs on my site if need be.
