Kate Morgan thought the hardest part was falling in love with a vampire. She was wrong.

She is no longer a captive. In the months since she chose to stay with the enigmatic and powerful vampire, Devon Karlov, their fragile bond has deepened into a true partnership. Together, they leave the gothic isolation of his European estate to face a new challenge: her family. But navigating suburban dinners and suspicious relatives is nothing compared to the secrets Devon has been keeping.

As Devon’s carefully constructed walls of control begin to crumble under the weight of his oldest fears, Kate is forced to confront the true nature of his dark past. To survive, they must become a united front. But how can Kate trust a man who built their love on a fundamental lie?

Book 1 in the Captive Hearts series

When artist Kate Morgan is taken from her Budapest gallery opening, she expects the worst. What she doesn't expect is Devon Karlov—a centuries-old vampire whose obsession with her art becomes an obsession with her.

Devon has spent lifetimes collecting beautiful things, but Kate is different. Her fierce independence and artistic vision captivate him in ways that terrify and enthrall. As Kate finds herself trapped in his elegant estate, she must navigate not only her growing attraction to her captor but the dangerous world of vampire politics where ancient enemies see her as Devon's greatest weakness.

When freedom is finally within her grasp, Kate discovers that the most powerful choice isn't always the obvious one. Because sometimes the line between captivity and sanctuary, between obsession and love, is thinner than she ever imagined.
