Auctioned for Her Blood

2021

Ember promised her dying mom she'd never go out after dark. If only she’d listened… When I was fourteen, my mom was killed protecting me from witches wielding powerful dark magic, leaving me alone and hunted for a secret contained in my blood. Ten years later, lonely and desperate to escape my boring safe life, I break Mom’s rule and go out after dark, only to land on an auction block where two wealthy and powerful men bid their fortunes for a night with me. I can’t deny that I’m drawn to both of these smoking hot men—one a cultured intellect and the other a dangerous bad boy—and I’m whisked into a glamorous world of powerful vampires, dark secrets and darker desires. My rule-breaking leads to passion like I’ve never known, but ends in disaster when I’m captured and trapped in a dangerous prison full of vicious creatures all hungry for my blood—and my innocence. As I discover the mysterious power I hold deep inside me, can I survive long enough to escape captivity? And as I develop intense feelings for more than one of my protectors, how can I possible choose just one? Auctioned for Her Blood is Book 1 of The Vampires’ Illuminant series. Expect a steamy, exciting story, where the heroine falls for more than one man and doesn’t have to choose.
