A vampire ruler sworn never to love. A woman he’ll risk eternity to protect.

Portia Kepler comes to Venice to mend a broken heart and to lose herself in her art. By day, she wanders the city’s winding streets. By night, she sketches in Piazza San Marco, waiting for the mysterious man who passes her café table like a shadow. He never speaks. He never stays. But every time he appears, she cannot look away.

Massimo Brunelli is no stranger.

He is the vampiric ruler of Venice, bound by ancient laws and sworn to protect the city from a killer stalking its streets. Love, especially for a mortal, is a weakness he cannot afford. Yet night after night, the red-haired artist becomes an irresistible distraction, stirring desires he believed long buried.

When Portia is drawn into the dangers of his world, Massimo will use every ounce of his immortal power to keep her safe, even if it means defying his crown, his people, and his own unyielding rules.

As attraction deepens into something neither can deny, Portia must decide whether she can trust her heart to a man whose very nature is shadow and blood. Massimo must also choose between duty and devotion, because loving a vampire sovereign means living on borrowed time and an ancient enemy is closing in.

Venice Dusk is the first book in the Vampire Sovereigns series, a paranormal romance of vampire royalty, forbidden love, court intrigues, and dangerous devotion.
