Sold to the Night: A Dark Enemies to Lovers Vampire Romance

She was the collateral. He was the monster who collected.

A debt paid in blood. A soul bound by magic. And a love that could burn New Orleans to the ground.

Winona Shorts lived a quiet life among the dust and paper of the Bibliotheca Obscura... until the storm came.

Searching for her missing brother in the flooded French Quarter, Winona breaks into the restricted archives and finds something far worse than a gambling marker. She finds the Gaultier Ledger—an ancient, leather-bound contract pulsing with dark magic. One accidental slip of a silver letter opener, one drop of blood, and Winona isn't just an archivist anymore.

She is the debt.

Giorgio de Gaultier is the Shadow. Ancient, ruthless, and lethally bored, the Vampire Prince of the city has ruled the night for four hundred years. But when a magical bond snaps into place, tethering a defiant human woman to his very soul, he faces a complication he didn't account for. Winona has Rh Null blood—the Golden Vintage—a substance so rare and potent it makes her a target for every predator in the Louisiana bayou.

Dragged to his fortress in the Garden District and confined by a magical radius that will stop her heart if she tries to leave, Winona is given a choice: Serve the House, or die.

But the estate is hiding secrets darker than the Prince himself. As Winona uses her skills to hunt for the traitor within Giorgio's inner circle, she discovers that the line between prisoner and partner is dangerously thin. Giorgio is a monster, yes—but he is her monster.
