About the Book

Jason has spent his existence as a vampire chasing one goal; and nowhere in that plan was there room for a human pet. Especially one with a stubborn streak and a steely glare he knows will get her killed.

Her whole adult life has been spent avoiding capture by the trappers who hunt down humans to sell to vampires and shifters alike. But when that luck runs out, she finds herself with a collar around her throat and death breathing down her neck.

As much as she'd like to kill him while he sleeps, just as she'd planned, he is nothing like she imagined. Behind closed doors, he has more interest in the maps and documents sprawled across his desk.

In public, he has only one rule: play the part.

As a human, she knows safety isn't promised, but Jason arms her with a blade of her own, and worse, teaches her to use it.

But when reminders of her old life begin appearing in unmarked envelopes, it begs the question: If following the rules doesn't guarantee her safety, then what will?

And when her new owner's secrets come to light, painting a big red target on her back, can that blade protect her?

Can he?

About the Author

She likes writing books that feel like home because everyone needs a safe place to land when real life feels a little too real. You’ll often find her snuggled up with my dogs, balancing a warm drink that’s gone cold, frantically taking notes on her phone, because inspiration tends to hit at the most inconvenient times. Her stories feature smart-mouthed FMCs, witty banter, and happy endings. If that sounds like a story you’d like to read, then welcome home.

Come celebrate this thrilling romantasy author, meet Veronica Hess, and get your book signed!
