Bound by Love, Tested by Fire

Bound by love, Tested by Fire

Zevaris Noctu has lived since 3000 BC-once known as gods, kings, and monsters across empires. Now, he moves through the modern world as a reclusive Black billionaire in Charlotte, North Carolina, operating global empires by night while hunting those who prey on the innocent. He is a vampire by blood, a guardian by choice-and a man carrying the weight of millennia.
Selena Braith is a brilliant and fearless attorney, unshaken by power, prejudice, or pressure. When she is attacked one night walking home, she's saved by a mysterious stranger with eyes like the storm and a presence that pierces her soul.
Their connection is immediate. Electric. Dangerous.
But Selena has no idea that she is the last of a forgotten bloodline-the Firemarked-descended from warrior queens destined to reclaim a crown of power long buried by ancient enemies. Her bond with Zevaris begins to awaken forces that the secretive Thirteen Veils have spent centuries trying to silence.
As war erupts between old magic and new love, Zevaris must face the ghosts of his past while Selena rises as a leader born from fire. Together, they'll defy fate, rewrite legacy, and become more than legend.
Because some flames never die.
They just wait to rise again.
