One quest. One bed. One monster she can’t stop wanting.
Friendship is a liability.
As a warden, I was trained to hunt monsters, break curses, and survive without attachments. But when my only friend is taken by the Vampire Queen of Sutton Bay, I’m forced into an impossible choice: retrieve a cursed necklace—or watch her become a vampire.
The queen assigns me a partner I don’t want and can’t trust.
Faelen is a thief with a silver tongue, too many secrets, and a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. He’s also a werewolf—the very kind of monster I was trained to kill. Bound by a deadline and hunted by enemies who want us dead, we’re forced into close quarters, shared beds, and choices neither of us are prepared for.
He craves closeness.
I was trained to survive without it.
As our search drags us deeper into cursed magic, criminal guilds, and infernal bargains, the line between monster and man begins to blur. And the greatest danger isn’t the relic we’re chasing—it’s the heat building between us.
Because some monsters don’t want your blood.
They want your heart.
Perfect for readers who love dark romantasy, forced proximity, monster romance, slow-burn heat, morally gray characters, and feral tension.
