She's a temptation he's willing to risk everything for.
Desperate
is an understatement for the path Anya’s life is on. A human trapped in
a simmering war between witches and vampires, she will do anything to
survive. Blackmailing the Coven leader seemed like a good plan. Then she
falls at the feet of Nico Berkano, head of the vampire nest, and she
wonders if sleeping with the enemy isn’t a more pleasurable option.
With the human population dwindling, vampires are in danger of starving, and the only solution Nico sees is to form a truce with the witches. Anya’s unexpected arrival at a secret meeting between himself and the Grand Coven Mistress tests the tentative trust between vampires and witches, particularly when Nico claims Anya as his mate.
Anya is a human complication he doesn’t need, one his brother thinks he should kill, but he’s willing to risk everything for a taste of her.
WICKED PASSION is a full-length standalone steamy romance set in The Berkano Vampire Collection. Stories can be read in any order. To learn more, visit FallenSorcery.com
Excerpt from Wicked Passion
“Anya...” he sighed. “You’re safe here.”
“Pretty words, but exactly that—words. When I step outside that door, and you’re not beside me, what do you think they’ll do?”
“There are few things sacred to the vampires,” he said. “The claim of mating is one of those.”
Anya shook her head, and the dark strands of her hair fell forward concealing one of her emerald green eyes. “Forgive me if I find it hard to take the word of a murderer.”
A familiar pang of bitterness pulled at his chest. He hadn’t chosen this life. Hell, if it hadn’t been forced upon him, he would have revolted against it like Anya. But that choice had been stripped from him.
For a while, he had embraced the life. He couldn’t deny the label she’d placed on him. He had killed. For necessity, for survival, and on occasion, he had enjoyed it. But those days were long past.
“You won’t take my word for it, yet you came here,” he pointed out. “What other reassurance did you expect to get? What more do you need?”
She hesitated, and he wondered if she even knew what it was that would bring her peace of mind. Her brow wrinkled as her green eyes narrowed at him before flickering away to the window. She moved towards it and pulled back the curtain. The early morning sun was rising, and the soft rays highlighted her profile.
She was stunning. Her nose was softly sloped and slightly tipped up at the end. The natural pout of her full lips left Nico reaching to adjust his pants yet again as he thought of how it would feel to slide his cock between them.
Anya glanced at him, and as if sensing the direction of his thoughts, her cheeks flushed a delicate pink.
“Witch blood.”
Erotic visions vanished at her words.
“Fuck no.” He shook his head.
One of her brows arched. “This is not negotiable,” Anya said. “You get me the blood, and I’ll stay.”
“You know as well as I do that that is the only known substance capable of killing vampires, and you really think I’m going to bring it into the nest?”
“No,” she said. “I think that if you want me to stay, you’ll bring it into the nest and give it to me.”
He didn’t question why she needed it. He’d heard tales of humans consuming witch blood. By ingesting the witch blood, she ensured that her body and blood were contaminated and that any vampire who dared to sample her would die an excruciating death. But those tales told had never ended well for the human.
“Do you realize how dangerous drinking blood is for a human? The diseases you’re exposing yourself to?”
“Non-negotiable.”
