Gabriel… They say Gabriel Redthorne is the most ruthless royal vampire of all. They say he tore out a man’s throat just for spilling his bourbon. They say his heart is so cold, the women he beds turn to ice. Good. Let them talk. The vampire prince has always known it’s better to be feared as a monster than loved as a fool, no matter how cold his bed is. But then he meets her. The witch who conspired with the enemy to take down the royal family. Dark and devious. Fire to his ice. His prisoner. And after one forbidden taste, the addiction that will utterly ruin him. Jacinda… For five years, dark witch Jacinda Colburn has been preparing. Preparing to betray her half-demon bloodline. Preparing to change her identity. Preparing to disappear. But for all her careful scheming, nothing could’ve prepared her for the heartless vampire prince—or for the punishment her wicked sins have earned. They say Gabriel Redthorne is vicious. Filthy. That he can kill a man with just a touch. But now that he owns her, all Jaci wants to know is… What can that vicious, filthy touch do to a woman?
