Of Nectar and Steel: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Crossed by Blood #3)
Larissa Vincente
"If I lived a hundred million lives, it wouldn’t be enough."
Her presence commanded me immediately.
Brown sugar and caramel ravished my senses, igniting them instantly. The flavors of her aura moistened my mouth; the most tempting nectar to ever cross my path. Like a man dying of thirst, I had to consume more and would do anything to get it.
I’d come across interesting souls before, but hers called to the deepest levels of my spirit. Surely, the fates had personalized this menu just for me. Desperate, I searched for the source, instigating my hunger amidst the crowds until I found a trail of sparkling bronze mist.
Finally, a woman’s slim form was weaving through the throngs of people, shivering along, and leaving a path of swirling snow and temptation in her wake.
Just as suddenly, she disappeared into the bustling crowd, but the metallic sparkle of her luscious aura left a distinct path for me to follow. She was the purest, most radiant stardust I’d ever seen.
I would bring her to my home, tucked inside the void between realms where I could keep her safe. Mine.
Little did I know, my own ghosts were catching up and no amount of bloodshed would keep these demons at bay.
The monsters demanded to be fed and to keep her safe, the only sacrifice I could offer was myself.
This is a dark vampire fantasy romance with a happily ever after. If a reader is new to dark romance, the main male character may come across as morally gray/black.
Four standalone books are planned for this series, each one following a different couple. Of Nectar and Steel is Jude and Karissa's story.
