Retailer Description:
Who accidentally has a one-night stand with her yoga instructor?
Yep. Me.
How did I accidentally sleep with someone, right? I know what you’re thinking. Whoops! I slipped and inadvertently inserted Tab A into Slot B.
That’s not quite how it went.
But my yoga instructor is really, really skilled with Tab A, if you know what I mean.
Slot B never had it so good.
What am I supposed to do now, as I walk into my yoga class and find the guy I ghosted this morning� there, in front of the class, perfectly aligned and grinning at me like he remembers touching all my chakras.
He’s perfect. Too perfect. He’s so perfect he’s ruining my job.
I’m an investigative reporter, working on spec for an article for a national magazine, and my job is to find all the ways this yoga chain is corrupt.
The only thing criminal here is that I can’t have him in Slot B ever again. And I would. I’d turn myself into a paper doll book if that’s what it took for more of that action.
I want him. He wants me. Nothing I do will make him back off because the chemistry is off the charts.
Except for one pesky little thing:
We’re at cross-purposes.
I need my exposé to get the job of my dreams. He needs to sell his stake in the yoga chain before I expose the corrupt current owner.
That makes him my enemy. My nemesis. The guy I have to get around to get ahead.
And now we’re supposed to hate each other.
But who ever let that get in the way of love?

Excerpts
What? You were expecting a profession of love?
A little moan escapes out of Sarah, a sound of yielding that makes me groan, our tongues going places that make promises of more, and soon, dinner at a fine restaurant pales in comparison to dragging her back into her apartment, screwing until we’re dehydrated, and ordering Door Dash sushi.
“Ahem,� she says as she pulls back, reaching up to wipe lipstick off my mouth with her thumb. Our eyes lock as she smiles at me, full and open.
It’s the kind of smile you could jump right into, unabashed and with complete abandon.
A freefall smile, that one is.
“That was a lovely way to say hello,� I whisper in her ear, inhaling slowly, enjoying the warm glow of her.

A forbiddenbond. A crumbling city. A choice that could change everything.
Serenity
Becoming an Elite—a blood donor for the Vampyr—was never part of the plan. Butwith my family’s lives on the line, I had no choice but to step out of hidingand into a world I barely understand. My rare blood has made me a target, andnow, I’m bound to Kane—the ruthless, untouchable head of the Vampyr Council.
The rebels want to use me. My family depends on me. And Kane� he’s the only onewho can keep me alive—but trusting him? That might be the most dangerous gambleof all.
Kane
I never wanted an Elite. I certainly didn’t need one—especially not Serenity.She’s everything I’ve avoided: human, stubborn, and a complication I can’tafford. But from the moment I met her, she turned my world upside down.
Her blood sustains me, but it’s her spirit that leaves me hungry for more. Asrebellion threatens to tear the city apart, my focus should be on holdingeverything together—not on the one woman who’s become my greatest weakness.
She’s more than just a distraction. She’s a risk. One I shouldn’t take.
But I can’t let her go. And if I’m not careful, she might destroy me—or save usall.
In a worldwhere blood is currency and love is forbidden,ÌýBoundÌýis aspellbinding tale of passion, betrayal, and a bond that could shatter a city—orbring it to its knees.
