About the Book
Blood Money is a dark romance set in a brutal, capitalistic dystopia where the world is quietly controlled by an anonymous society of elite vampires. In this system, most citizens must purchase blood through a tightly regulated healthcare network—and hunting humans is a crime punishable by lobotomy.
The story follows Phillip Arlington, a violent and morally complicated vampire who hunts despite the rules. After selecting a middle-aged patron of a gentleman's club as his next victim, Phillip prepares for an easy hunt—until his plans are interrupted by Cleo, a mysterious dancer whose gentle words promise something far more enticing.
What begins as temptation quickly spirals into a dangerous game of obsession, manipulation, and blurred lines between predator and prey. Cleo has her own agenda. Phillip carries his own demons. Neither of them are safe from what begins to unfold between them.
Exploring themes of trauma, control, redemption, and the thin line between devotion and destruction, Blood Money is perfect for readers who love dark, emotionally intense romance filled with obsession, psychological unraveling, and dangerously tender moments.
Come celebrate the debut of Blood Money, meet Apollo Infiniti, and get your book signed!
