love at first bite

Book Description

In a world where vampires hide in the shadows and hunters never rest, love can be both eternal and deadly.Isabel was human when she met Rose, an ancient vampire older than memory itself. What began as curiosity grew into something deeper—quiet glances, whispered conversations, and the slow, unstoppable pull of two hearts destined for each other. After a year together, Isabel made the choice that would change her life forever: she allowed Rose to turn her, leaving her humanity behind to share an eternity by the woman she loved. In secret, surrounded only by those they trusted, they married, promising each other forever—even though forever could never be guaranteed.

Even after becoming a vampire, Isabel's humanity endured. Her human family believed she had died, but she watched over them from the shadows. She sent money when they struggled, ensured they had food and shelter, and paid for their funerals quietly and anonymously. Love, she knew, was not bound by mortality.

For 250 years, Isabel and Rose lived together in Rose's ancestral vampire family home, a sprawling mansion filled with centuries-old vampires who had been family long before Isabel arrived. Their life was one of love, laughter, and shared moments that stretched across centuries. But immortality could not protect them from everything. When a relentless vampire hunter attacked, six of Rose's family died shielding Isabel, and Rose herself, ancient, strong, and fearless, sacrificed her life to protect the woman she loved. Isabel survived, left alone with the weight of centuries of love and grief.

For 150 years, she remained in the family home, mourning the love she had lost while the world outside changed. She did not dare hope that she could ever love again—until a new Rose appeared. Newly turned, only five years a vampire, modern and untested in eternity, she awoke in Isabel's heart something that had lain dormant for centuries. With the quiet blessing of her vampire family, Isabel dared to open her heart once more.

This is a story of two women bound by love, of centuries of devotion and sacrifice, and of the courage to trust the heart after unimaginable loss. It is a tale of a love that was torn apart by fire and steel, and a love that rose from the ashes, proving that even in eternity, the heart can heal—and love again.
