Rosamund threw the knife before she had fully decided to.It struck true — the shoulder of the vampire she had hunted for three hours through the fog.But when he turned, it was the wrong monster.Three bodies in three weeks, drained and left in doorways the constables blamed on a pox. Rosamund knew better. She always knows better.She came for a young rogue with nervous eyes.She found Aldric Thornwood.Older. Calmer. A face carved from marble and left out in the weather, eyes black with a flicker of silver storming behind the glass.He pulled her silver knife out of his own shoulder without flinching — and handed it back."You'll want this. It's good silver. Expensive."He caught her second blade between two fingers, hilt-first, and returned that one too.I could have taken your hand off, but I didn't."You're terrified," he tells her. "But you hide it well. That's a skill."Aldric's family has managed this city's vampires for generations — and now something is killing in his streets, something that threatens the fragile peace and everyone Rosamund has left to protect.The hunter and the monster need each other.But the bargain they strike is an oath written in blood.A vow that binds them deeper than either of them intended.A vow that drags them through masquerades and silver-barred cells and a chamber that wakes beneath the blood moon.She has a little sister to keep safe, and a duty that says his kind must die.He has a secret buried in her veins that he never expected to find.And the closer the oath pulls them together, the harder it becomes to remember which of them is supposed to be the prey.She swore she would never trust a vampire.He swore he would never let a hunter close enough to matter.Now the only way either of them survives the thing in the fog is together — and the oath between them will not let go.Some oaths you swear.Some oaths swear you.Bloodsworn is a smoldering, gothic vampire romance about a fierce hunter and a dangerous immortal, an unbreakable blood oath, enemies forced together, dark bargains, and a love that could damn them both.Perfect for readers who love vampire romance, enemies-to-lovers, gothic atmosphere, fated bonds, and brooding immortal heroes.
