Puncture: A Gothic Tale of Obsession and Immortal Hunger

By Lisa V Proulx

The Author's Cut - Book One of the PUNCTURE Series

He bit her once, and she bled forever...

He was her first love.
Now he's the reason she's damned.

Haunted by her past, Veronica turns to the church - and finds peace in the sacred waters of baptism. But no amount of prayer can protect her from Victor Leatherman, the beautiful, dangerous vampire who once stole her heart... and is now determined to claim her soul.

Victor was raised in the light, a boy who once knew God - but those days are long buried. What remains is obsession, hunger, and a charm as lethal as it is irresistible.

Veronica's transformation into a creature of the night was never her choice, and now she wanders the shadows, torn between the girl she was and the darkness consuming her.

When she meets Aidan - Victor's old rival and her unexpected ally - Veronica is given a chance to reclaim her power. But to be free, she must confront the very thing she once loved most...

A haunting, gothic tale of twisted love, lost innocence, and one immortal wound.

"You are in league with the devil..."
"To win your love, I would accept help from any source..."

For every woman who gave her heart to someone who didn't know how to hold it.
For those who were made to feel small, silenced, or broken.
This story is for you.
You survived.
And your scars are holy.
