For Reyna Carpenter, giving up her body isn’t a choice—it’s survival.

In a world where humans are currency and vampires rule from the shadows, Reyna accepts a high-paying position among the wealthy and ruthless elite. Her new job: a live-in blood escort for the enigmatic and dangerously powerful Beckham Anderson. She expects cruelty. She expects hunger. She expects to become his next meal.

But Beckham won’t drink from her.

He keeps his distance, his unreadable gaze shadowed by something far more dangerous than just desire. As the nights pass, Reyna begins to sense it—an invisible war being waged around her, secrets that twist through the corridors of Visage, and whispers of something far more valuable than power.

Because Reyna isn’t just rare—she’s the key to something bigger than she ever imagined. And the reason Beckham refuses to taste her blood?

It might not just change them—it might destroy everything.

For the record, I watched all 90 Yeast-Lord-filled minutes of Gentlemen Broncos. I didn’t fall asleep. I didn’t pause to pee. I’m not entirely sure I blinked—or breathed. I was utterly […]
