A Ransom in Blood

By Jessie Thomas

A clever thief. An ancient vampire. A deal made in blood and desire.

When her thieving rival steals the ancient relic of a vampire she's accidentally been bound to by blood, carriage thief Meryn is forced to help him retrieve it, otherwise they'll both succumb to death.

With her blood as ransom, the two embark on a perilous journey across the continent, as their mutual distrust of each other leads to dark bargains and covetous schemes. While Meryn tries to resist the frightening call of their newly-forged bond, the mysterious vampire strikes a deal to reward her with any pleasure she craves. But once their tentative agreement blossoms into desire, and their annoyance into affection, the cost might be far greater than anything Meryn is prepared to pay.

The vampire lore of DRACULA meets the relationship dynamics and aesthetic of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE with the spicy carriage scenes of BRIDGERTON in this regency-inspired romantic fantasy.

A RANSOM IN BLOOD is the first book of the BLOOD & DESIRE duology, a forced proximity, annoyance-to-lovers romantasy with a morally gray heroine.
