Bloodborn Fates #1 Slow Burn Gothic Paranormal Romance Vampires They say the devil walks in fire and shadows… Turns out, he prefers porches, sweet tea, and one very stubborn woman. Beau Thorne is a Southern vampire with a slow drawl, a deadly temper, and a kingdom hidden beneath the magnolias of Thorne Ridge, Georgia. As leader of the Bloodborn coven, his world doesn’t allow for distractions, especially not mortal ones. But when a sharp-tongued, five-foot powerhouse of a lawyer dismisses him as an ego with a southern accent, Beau finds himself caught between his instincts and his obsession. Leah Ricci doesn’t do relationships, especially not with charming immortals who think growling counts as negotiation. She built her life on courtroom victories and independence, no man, living or dead, is going to derail that. But resisting Beau’s slow-burn pursuit becomes harder each time he shows up with his Southern charm, possessive stares, and the kind of kisses that leave bruises. As bodies start turning up in Thorne Ridge and Leah’s pulled deeper into Beau’s world of blood and shadows, she’ll have to decide if she’s ready to risk her rules, and her mortality, for a love that’s anything but safe.
