The Vampire Lord’s Lost Mate
Terrified by the morning sunlight after their passionate midnight encounter, the designer fled the penthouse before the silver-haired vampire prince awakened.
Wayne, the despised illegitimate son of an infamous pirate fleet, is selected as an unwilling sacrificial offering to appease Aethius, the dreaded sovereign of the ocean depths. Haunted by rumors of eight previous brides who perished in the abyss, Wayne expects immediate death beneath the waves. Instead, he discovers a tormented primordial ruler afflicted by an agonizing ancient curse that only Wayne's unique physical essence can soothe.
Within the luminous walls of the sunken citadel, mutual suspicion transforms into intense devotion as Aethius shields Wayne from treacherous underwater deities and ruthless corsairs. When hostile pantheons conspire to tear their sanctuary apart, Wayne must decide whether to embrace his emerging supernatural destiny alongside the ferocious deity who guards his heart.
