A high-stakes paranormal romance that balances fierce, all-out vampire warfare with a deeply vulnerable journey of internal healing and enduring love.
What it feels like
This propulsive paranormal romance plunges readers into a dark, high-stakes world where fierce battles are fought both on the streets and within the soul. The mood is intensely passionate and urgent, balancing the external threat of an all-out war with a deeply angsty, emotional core. The narrative thrives on the contrast between larger-than-life vampire warriors and their profound, hidden vulnerabilities, exploring themes of panic, insecurity, and the sudden reassessment of life's priorities. The prose is dramatic and action-packed, yet it slows down to capture the raw, tender moments of a world-shifting romance. It is a perfect fit for readers who devour intense, character-driven stories where immortal protectors must confront their own mortal fears to secure their happily ever after.

About the book
Nothing is as it used to be for the Black Dagger Brotherhood. The slayers of the Lessening Society are stronger than ever, preying on human weakness to acquire more money, more weapons, more power. But as the Brotherhood readies for an all-out attack on them, one of their own fights a battle within himself... For Rhage—the Brother with the biggest appetites, but also the biggest heart—life was supposed to be perfect. Or at the very least, perfectly enjoyable. But he can’t understand or control the panic and insecurity that plague him. Terrified, he must reassess his priorities after suffering a mortal injury. And the answer, when it comes to him, rocks his—and his beloved Mary’s—world...
