Blood Consort

Harlow
I've spent most of my life being told the things I see aren't real.

Ghosts don't whisper warnings. The dead don't follow you home. And strangers definitely don't look at you like they've been waiting centuries to find you.

Mateo says I'm his consort. He says the bond between us can't be broken. He says I'm safer with him than anywhere else, but I don't believe him. Not yet.

But the Hunters chasing me do. And the powerful vampires watching from the shadows seem to know exactly who I am… even when I don't.

Mateo
The moment I caught her scent, I knew. Fate doesn't make mistakes, and Harlow is destined to be mine.

Protecting her should be simple. Claim her. Bind her. Keep her inside the safety of my coven and away from the enemies already closing in. Except she doesn't trust me.

Her past is full of secrets someone worked very hard to erase, and the Blood Council is suddenly paying far too much attention to the woman destiny chose for me.

The only thing I know for sure… if anyone tries to take her from me, they won't survive it.
