Desire in His Blood

One woman will do anything to save her family from ruin . . . even if it means marrying a dangerous and mercurial alien lord.

A sizzling linked standalone novel in the USA Today bestselling Brides of the Kylorr series: red-hot fantasy romances filled with bloodthirsty winged monsters, insatiable mortal passions, and high-stakes alien worlds.

They call the Kylorr demons. Monsters. Never in a million years did she expect to call one her husband…

Gemma Hara is drowning under the weight of her father’s debts. Working herself to the bone, she knows that if she doesn’t pay them off in time, the sadistic creditors will take everything: their home, their respected name, and, worst of all, her two beautiful sisters.

To save her family, she agrees to do something reckless: marry a wealthy and mysterious stranger, who offers her a bargain she can’t afford to refuse.

However, his bargain comes with one terrifying catch. Because Gemma’s husband-to-be is a Kylorr. One of the most feared alien races, the Kylorr are rumored to be beastly monsters, all muscle and menace, with powerful wings, depraved cravings, and berserker-like rages. The worst part?

They survive on blood.

Cold and cruel, Azur of House Kaalium, the High Lord of Laras, demands her as his blood bride. To feed from her. To use her body in whatever way he wishes.

But if Azur expects a demure, submissive wife, he’ll be in for a rude awakening. Her new husband might crave her surrender, but there’s one thing she’ll never give him.

Her heart . . . even if he wants to shatter it into a million pieces.
