Marrying the Monster That Bit Me: A Vampire Romance

By V. P. Nightshade

She died saving a vampire lord. He saved her by turning her. Ancient law forced them into marriage. Falling in love was never part of the bargain.Historian Teslin Douglas has spent her entire career studying monsters.
She never expected to become one.
During a presentation before the Lords of the Vampire Nation, an assassin's blade meant for the powerful Lord Kestrel Rook strikes her instead. With only seconds to save her life, Kestrel makes an impossible choice.
He turns her.
Under ancient vampire law, an unauthorized turning leaves him with only two options:
Execute the fledgling ... or marry her.
He chooses marriage.
Teslin chooses hatred.
Now trapped in a life she never wanted, Teslin must navigate immortal politics, dangerous noble houses, and a husband whose quiet kindness is somehow more unsettling than his fangs.
Because Kestrel remembers how she takes her tea.
He buys her books.
He protects her work.
And every day, he apologizes for saving her.
But something ancient has awakened in Teslin's blood. An ability thought lost for centuries now makes her the most valuable woman in the Vampire Nation, and powerful enemies will kill to possess her.
As old crimes rise from the ashes and secrets buried for twelve hundred years come to light, Teslin discovers that the monster who ruined her life may also be the man willing to spend eternity putting it back together.
