Aiken hated him. He hated him more than he feared him.
Eleven years ago, a vampire saved Aiken’s life. A vampire he had been trying to kill. A vampire whose intense blue eyes and deep voice Aiken never forgot.
On a cold winter night, with the Empire on the edge of war, Aiken meets that vampire again. He’s overwhelmed by his own long-nurtured but unwanted feelings for the man, and feels himself inescapably drawn to him.
Aiken wants to keep hating him, and he wants to keep fighting him, but there’s no denying his desire.
His desire for a leech.
