Sanguine: An MM Paranormal Romance Where Hunger Meets Desire
Luca Reed
Sebastian Mercer's exceptional talent at the piano lands him a coveted position at Toronto's most exclusive nightclub, The Pulse. What he doesn't know is that its enigmatic owner, Elias Delaine, is a centuries-old vampire who has lost the ability to truly feel music—until he hears Sebastian play.
When their worlds collide in a moment of weakness, the blood communion between them creates an unprecedented resonance, connecting them through music and memory in ways that defy vampire law. Their forbidden bond draws the attention of the ruling Vampire Council, particularly the ruthless Luc Armand, who demands Sebastian be claimed as property or eliminated.
Faced with impossible choices—turn, submit, or sever their connection forever—Elias and Sebastian discover an ancient ritual that might offer a different path. But binding their lives together permanently comes with devastating if one dies, so does the other.
As enemies close in and the Council fractures around them, their dangerous connection becomes their greatest weapon. In a world governed by predators, the most revolutionary act might be creating something new instead of consuming what already exists.
SANGUINE is the first book in THE PULSE SERIES, where music and immortality intertwine in a darkly sensual modern gothic romance.
