Bite the Hand That Feeds You

A contracted companion. A thirty-day assassination deadline. A vampire countess who rewrites every rule.

Iris Morcant is an elite blood courtesan operating with a lethal hidden agenda: infiltrate Saint-Clair Manor, earn Countess Vespera's trust, and plant an eight-inch silver blade in her chest. Vespera is rumored to be a ruthless monster responsible for the mysterious disappearance of contracted courtesans—including Iris’s own sister.

But Saint-Clair Manor is no dungeon, and Countess Vespera is nothing Iris prepared for.

Vespera demands verbal consent for every bite, drops to her knees to feed, and fiercely defends the autonomy of the women under her roof. As Iris is pulled deeper into the perilous politics of the Crimson Synod, she realizes the real monster isn't the ancient countess kneeling at her feet, but the shadow network threatening to consume them both.

Torn between a deadly directive, a shadowy resistance, and an undeniable attraction, Iris must choose: will she execute the vengeance she swore to deliver, or surrender to the intoxicating power of an equal bond?
