About this audiobook
Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads.
A vampire bride on the run. A secret that could destroy her. And the enemy who will stop at nothing to claim her—body, blood, and soul. When a traitor in her own camp reveals his betrayal, trusting him again costs her everything. In a world of shadow courts and forbidden blood bonds, one wrong move could doom the brother she loves. Frost Court noble Seraphina Valdova has spent five years running from the man she holds responsible for her father's murder: Darian Nightshade, the ruthless heir to the Night Court. But when her brother is cursed by a deadly blood magic that only a Night Court ritual can break, Sera is forced to return to the glittering, dangerous city of Nocturne—where vampires rule and loyalty is bought with secrets. Darian has never forgotten the fiery bride who fled their arranged marriage, leaving him humiliated and hungry for revenge. Now she's back, and he intends to make her pay—until he discovers the child she's hidden. A child with his eyes. The impossible choice: ally with the man she despises to save her brother, or lose him forever and protect her secret. But as they hunt for the cure through moonlit gardens and blood-soaked ballrooms, an old enemy resurfaces with a truth that shatters everything Sera thought she knew. The man who killed her father? He's been inside her own court all along—and Darian was never the villain. Now, with her brother's life hanging by a thread and the Night Court closing in, Sera must decide: forgive the enemy who burned her heart, or let the past consume them both. Tropes: enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, secret baby, who did this to you, forced proximity, touch her and die, morally grey vampire hero, found family, slow burn with explosive payoff. This is the first book in the Courts of Shadow and Ice series—a dark, steamy paranormal romance where every kiss is a gamble and every vow is written in blood. Fans of Scarlett St. Clair, Sarah J. Maas, and Amelia Hutchins will devour this tale of betrayal, redemption, and a love that defies the shadows. Read on for a forbidden romance that will leave you breathless—and craving the next bite.
Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
