Book one of Altars duology.
Greed needs little to fester. When you have starved for so long, all you can see is hunger.

A Vampire Coven is thrown into chaos after its maker and master is found dead under mysterious circumstances. With the assassin hiding among them, the Vampire Council must choose a new Coven Master, and who better than the man who wants the throne the least. A deserter from the First Crusade, Silvio is saved by Dulior, a vampire determined to turn and bind him at the altar. In the midst of a cycle of arranged marriages to mortals, Dulior uses Silvio as her escape from her domineering maker, and a promise, finally, of a true love match. Although granted immortality, Silvio sees no value in eternity if he cannot share it with Emerick, the man he has sworn to protect. Husband to a woman he despises, bound to a man he wants to drown in pleasure, Silvio will have to become a pawn in the Coven’s schemes if it helps him break free from his wife and mistress.
A Gothic romance with elements of historical fiction, perfect for fans of Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles, Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber, S.T. Gibson’s A Dowry of Blood, and Kat Dunn’s Hungerstone.
