Description
About the book
Iris came to the countess’s estate with a contract—and a hidden blade.
Countess Vespera Saint-Clair has ruled the northern vampire province of Belladonne for centuries. To humans, she is a monster. To the vampire council, she is dangerously sympathetic. To the blood courtesans under her protection, she is the rare noble who does not confuse a contract with ownership.
Iris Morcant arrives with a mission the countess must not discover. The human resistance holds Vespera responsible for disappearing courtesans, and Iris’s assignment is to win the countess’s trust, enter her private chambers, and kill her before the next full moon.
What Iris finds does not match the monster she expected. Vespera asks permission before feeding, respects her boundaries, and protects contracted humans from other nobles. Behind the immortal’s formidable reputation is a woman who has almost forgotten what freely offered affection feels like.
As suspicion becomes attraction, Iris’s mission grows harder to justify and more dangerous to conceal. When Vespera discovers the assassination plot and returns the blade instead of ordering her death, Iris faces a choice no contract can settle: finish the mission, or trust the woman she was sent to destroy.
