Count Andrey Ambrose has a well-earned reputation of being someone you don't want to cross. He's a vampire, the ruler of the city-state Renait, a ruthless politician, and, most importantly, Eric Roth's boss. So why exactly hasn't he thrown Roth into the dungeons under Castle Renait after Roth punched him in the face? As Commissioner of the Renait Police Force Roth answers directly to Ambrose and for fifteen years he has followed Ambrose's orders faithfully. As much as the Count annoys Roth, they have a common The good of their city. Ambrose has every right to fire Roth for his actions, but the Count behaves like nothing ever happened. That makes no sense to Roth. That and the 'Come Hither' look Ambrose threw him sprawled on the floor after Roth decked him. The latter especially is keeping him up at night, so now he's back in the aloof Count's office, determined to get some some answers out of him. And maybe sink his fingers into the Count's inky curls and give them a good tug. (Not that he's admitting that part to himself…). The First Part of the Renait A MM Slow Burn Romance told in Seven Steamy Installments! Commissioner Eric Roth, cop, workaholic and riddled with self-esteem issues, and Count Andrey Ambrose, vampire, politician, and helplessly smitten with his chief of police. They've known each other for years, since the day Ambrose took power in the tiny European city-state of Renait. For all this time they've ignored the growing feelings between them and worked together as professionals to make their city a better place. Ambrose is only too aware that Roth is his employee, no matter how regularly the Commissioner mouthes off at him. Acting on his feeling would be a gross misuse of power. And Roth has been very diligent at hiding his affection for the Count under a thick layer of annoyance, even from himself. (Which isn't hard. The Count can be very annoying. ). When a physical altercation brings out the Count's submissive tendencies, Roth is drawn to it like moth to flame and fifteen years of tension boil over. Renait's two most powerful men fall into a tentative clandestine relationship that would be splashed across tabloids all over the world if it became public. And between Roth's health, the ever-present whirl of politics and an assassination attempt or two, they'll have more to deal with than just their own issues before they'll get their happy ever after. less

Maybe Ambrose is playing with Roth, but so is Roth with him. This isn’t a zero-sum game. If one wins, so does the other. It's the evening of Eric Roth's 25 year service anniversary as a police officer and he's spending it hiding in his office reading smut. (In his defence, it started out as research. ). Downstairs, at the party in his honour, his boss Count Andrey Ambrose waits for him. Roth has been avoiding the man for weeks now... moreMaybe Ambrose is playing with Roth, but so is Roth with him.

(In his defence, it started out as research. ). Downstairs, at the party in his honour, his boss Count Andrey Ambrose waits for him. Roth has been avoiding the man for weeks now. After falling into bed with him and letting Ambrose drink his blood two weeks ago, Roth can hardly look the Count in the eye. That night Roth discovered a side of himself that scares him as much as it intrigues him. But all his research (including the book he's reading) can only go so far. What he really needs is a hands on lesson in dominance, one that Ambrose would be all to happy to assist him with. After all, practice makes perfect. less

Roth might have quit smoking, but he’s still an addict at heart. His new His boss, Andrey Ambrose. Things are getting dicey for Eric Roth. Two months of sleeping with his boss, the vampire Andrey Ambrose, and he gets grumpy when they can’t see each other for more than a couple of days. Not because he misses Ambrose, of course he doesn’t. Their arrangement it strictly physical, no feelings involved... moreRoth might have quit smoking, but he’s still an addict at heart.

Two months of sleeping with his boss, the vampire Andrey Ambrose, and he gets grumpy when they can’t see each other for more than a couple of days. Not because he misses Ambrose, of course he doesn’t. Their arrangement it strictly physical, no feelings involved. Anything else would be beyond stupid, considering Ambrose is the ruler of an (albite small) nation and Roth is his chief of police. So why can’t Roth wait to get his hands on Ambrose again when the Count returns from a conference abroad? Whether he likes it or not, Roth can’t keep lying to himself about his feelings forever. Especially when Ambrose’s unflappable facade cracks and it’s on Roth to put him back together. less
