Forbidden Blood

Eva Artino is the treasured secret of the Purebloods, rulers of the vampirical Sanguisuge race. As the only half-human, half-Sanguisuge being in existence, her true nature and unusual abilities were to be hidden until she’d come of age. High expectations and a brutal upbringing have made Eva an outsider in her own kingdom, trapped in a gilded cage. Raised for power, trained to be the strongest, Eva’s life is mapped for her, down to her two allowed friends and utter lack of romance. But as her strength grows, so does her desire for freedom and her willingness to bend the rules that safeguard her. Cue a gorgeous green-eyed stranger. Damian barrels into her life on a bet, but he’s more of a gamble than Eva realizes. After clawing his way back from a feral existence, Damian has two items on his agenda. One, free the humans from the Purebloods’ tyranny. Two, enact vengeance against the future ruler, Prince Gabriel, who happens to be Eva’s dearest friend. The plan, crafted over centuries, was simple: force the treaty down the prince’s throat and make him experience a pain equal to the hole in Damian’s own heart. Nothing and no one could divert him from his plan … until he met Eva. A passion that Damian didn’t anticipate and that Eva has never experienced threatens the treaty and Eva’s already limited freedom. Because Damian and Eva are both unaware that the other hides a uniquely powerful monster inside, and the collision of their worlds could cause a catastrophic war. Eva must decide if the cost of her liberation is worth the lives of hundreds of innocents. Can they really jeopardize everything they hold dear, just to have each other?
