Blood Debt & Moonfire

Mara Quinn doesn’t believe in fairy tales—only exhaustion, overdue rent, and clawing her way through nursing school one brutal shift at a time. Brooklyn has taught her one rule: no one saves you for free. So when she finds a devastatingly beautiful stranger bleeding out in an alley, she does what nurses do. She helps. She doesn’t ask questions. She doesn’t fall for the way his voice roughens when he says no hospitals. She should have let him die. Lucien Dravayne—Ren to those foolish enough to get close—isn’t human. He’s an immortal werewolf–vampire hybrid, an ancient alpha who rules a supernatural empire hidden behind the Veil. For a thousand years, he’s been untouchable. Until a sharp-tongued human nurse patches him together in her shabby apartment… and becomes his greatest liability. Now Mara is marked as his weakness. Hunted by enemies who want to tear his kingdom apart, she’s dragged into a world of blood laws, pack politics, and a possessive alpha who insists he owes her his life. She blames him for destroying everything she worked for. He knows he’ll destroy the world to keep her breathing. And when Mara is taken from his lands, Ren must choose between the empire he’s built over centuries… or the human woman who was never meant to survive his darkness—let alone rule beside him.
