Pureblood

Everyone wants to use me. He wants to ruin me.I’m a vampire born, not made. Rare. Sheltered. The pureblood.To most, that means leverage. Power. A prize to be traded.So when my Master arranges a political union on my behalf—one I didn’t ask for, one I can’t refuse—I brace for the worst.Instead, I get Lucian.He’s not a bodyguard. He’s a killer. A dangerous man with a dark past, whose infamous name makes even vampires flinch.He’s been ordered to protect me.He’s not supposed to care.He’s definitely not supposed to touch.But every time he steps between me and danger—when his hand lingers a bit too long, when he looks at me like I’m more than just an obligation—I want him to forget the rules.To give in.There are shadows tightening around us, and secrets buried beneath this so-called marriage that could change everything.I’m not just a bargaining chip anymore.My power is waking up—raw, wild, and tied to abilities even the fae Courts whisper about.If I want to survive what’s coming, I can’t stay the pureblood locked in a gilded cage.My magic isn’t enough to save me. Not yet.I need Lucian.Even if it ruins us both.Heat Level: SpicyTropes: Forced proximity · Bodyguard romance · Virgin MC · Touch him and die · Forbidden desire · Found family · Slow burn with heat · Political intrigue · Arranged marriageContains: Lounging thongs · Vampiric fae anomalies · Catty twinks · Sexy dancing · Disturbing battering rams · Daddy issues · Soft-hearted killers · Fae magic and fae menace · Seedy motels · First times · Untested powers · Unwanted betrothals · Emotional damage · And one sheltered vampire becoming dangerously un-sheltered
