Bonded To The Shadow Scribe: A Grumpy Sunshine Vampire Romance
The paper cut was tiny. The silver-eyed vampire who fell out of my grimoire was not.
Iris Cline is a rare book restorer who knows how to handle fragile parchment. She doesn't know how to handle Ezra Shadowscribe-an ancient, silver-eyed vampire scribe who has been trapped in a cursed book for two centuries. He is brilliant, ink-stained, and touch-starved beyond measure.
And according to the severe Shadow House liaison who shows up at her Minneapolis studio, Ezra is also Iris's fated Shadow Twin. They have exactly seven days to complete a blood-magic bonding ritual to anchor him to the mortal realm. The catch? The ritual requires absolute, soul-baring intimacy.
Iris has always preferred the safety of closed books to the risks of open hearts. But as Ezra writes his raw, poetic devotion directly onto her skin in glowing silver ink, she is forced to choose: risk opening her own damaged pages to a man who hasn't been held in two hundred years, or let the clock run out and lose her fated mate to the grimoire forever.
