[The Bladed 01] • Deacon

DEACON is a forbidden romance is set in the same world as the Voracious Vampires of Las Vegas series.

Ophelia Mortlake is a caged bird desperate for escape... and every fiber of Deacon's being longs to fly free beside her...

A dynastic wedding to a vampire with a lineage as long as hers?

The plans have been made.

Nurturing the future heir of the Mortlake line?

Set in stone.

Marrying for love and passion?

Not an option.

Vampire Ophelia Mortlake hoped to find a way to slip from the shackles that would chain her to a man she doesn’t love. But with her father’s seat on the Council in jeopardy, it seems the time for such a miracle has run out. A Bladed has been hired to guard her. There’s nowhere to run. More than ever Ophelia realizes just how trapped she is.

As a human member of the Bladed, Deacon Chase never hesitates to put his life on the line in hopes of proving himself to the Vampire Council. And in return for his years of service? The vampires reward his sacrifice by having him guard a bratty vampire princess in the days leading up to her wedding.

Then... he looks her in the eyes and knows fate has other plans for them both. A pity all that stands in the way of their forbidden love is her father. A vampire willing to sacrifice anything to cling to power. Even his own flesh and blood...
