Blood Lust

Centuries of isolation and self-denial have left Dorian Thorne a half-living shadow. He can't survive without living blood. Yet all those who have given to him in the past three centuries have died from his kiss.

Cora Shaw seems different. Another human, yes, like all the others. But she awakens sensations in him that he had given up for lost. And he almost dares to hope that she might be the one he has been waiting for all this time.

Without his blood-kiss, she will be dead in a matter of months from her terminal disease. With it, she will die instantly...unless she bonds with him as his consort, making him whole again.
Bonding is something he can't control, but it's the only thing that will save them both now. Cora can't refuse him. And if she's doomed, Dorian can't save her.

It's the ultimate gamble, and the stakes are forever.
