Description

She has thirty days to complete a vampire bond or die—with the enforcer sent to kill her.

Idris Tamm has spent two centuries as the Eastern Seaboard’s most efficient enforcer, putting failed vampires out of their misery. When he’s sent to eliminate Tess Lowell—a half-converted “corruption” who’s somehow survived a decade in limbo—it should be simple. But her blood reveals a terrifying truth: her vanished sire is building an army of half-dead weapons.

Tess Lowell thought outlasting ten years of incomplete conversion made her invincible. Then her failing transformation starts its final countdown, and the vampire sent to execute her offers an impossible bargain. His blood can stabilize her—temporarily. Hers can track the monster who abandoned them both. Neither expects the bond between them to ignite like wildfire.

Now they have thirty days to hunt the most dangerous vampire in New England. Every feeding pulls them deeper into a connection that promises salvation or destruction. She’s fighting not to need him. He’s fighting not to want her. And each drop of shared blood makes resisting each other impossible.

Because her sire didn’t abandon her—he’s been waiting for her to find the perfect vampire to complete his masterpiece. And Idris is exactly what he ordered.
