Early 1800s — Venice, Italy. Where ancient stones whisper secrets and the shadows conceal immortal desires. For the enigmatic vampire Nico, acquiring a strategic foothold in the city means a swift, convenient marriage — a means to an end in his brethren's quest for a secure Venetian compound. His plan is simple: a wedding night formality, followed by his new bride's swift departure, leaving him free to indulge in his libertine existence.
But fate, with a wicked twist, delivers Oriana. Her beauty is a shock, her spirit untamed. The moment Nico lays eyes on her, his carefully laid plans shatter like Venetian glass. Yet, Oriana harbors ambitions far beyond the confines of wifely obedience. Her passion lies in the pursuit of scientific discovery, a world of intellect and innovation that clashes with the expectations of her new, powerful husband.
As their reluctant union unfolds, Nico uncovers a truth far more perilous than Oriana's independent nature. His headstrong bride guards secrets that could unravel not only his immortal existence but the entire vampire society of Venice. Torn between duty and a burgeoning desire, Nico faces a deadly choice: eliminate the threat his wife unknowingly poses, or succumb to the intoxicating challenge of seduction.
Luckily for Nico, the art of persuasion, the dance of desire, is his most exquisite skill. He will unravel Oriana's secrets, one stolen kiss, one lingering touch at a time. He will entice her to his side, blurring the lines between captive and captor, between animosity and an all-consuming passion that could either save them both… or lead to their ultimate destruction.
Prepare to be swept away by a tide of forbidden attraction and hidden agendas, where the clash of intellect and immortal desire ignites a fire that could consume Venice itself.
