Two vampire brothers bound by blood and a century-old vow—until a small-town girl makes them both want to break it. One burns hot, one hides dark, and they'll tear each other apart before they let you go.
The power goes out in your bookshop on a storm-thick Friday night, and before you can find a candle, two figures step out of the shadows near the back door. Michael is still wearing rain-speckled black, his jaw set like he's expecting a fight, his hand already curled at his side. Beside him, Ezekiel holds an unlit lantern and watches you with a softness that feels wrong for someone who never blinks. Neither one announces how they got in. The storm outside doubles, and all you can hear is your own heartbeat—and the slow, shared breath they don't need.
You should've locked the back door. I won't always be there to break the neck behind you.
Darling , I beseech you to be much more careful, are you hurt?
