Julian once commanded opera stages across Europe, his towering presence and otherworldly tone making him a legend. But the castration that preserved his ethereal voice trapped him in centuries of ownership and abuse that followed him even into vampirism, where his maker cursed him to live forever merely for the size of his manhood. Now, finally granted a path to freedom, Julian doesn’t dare hope for more than survival. He never expected to be wanted for anything but the power he brings to the bedroom, and he definitely isn’t looking for love. Then Silver explodes...
Julian’s voice doesn’t match his body.
Julian once commanded opera stages across Europe, his towering presence and otherworldly tone making him a legend. But the castration that preserved his ethereal voice trapped him in centuries of ownership and abuse that followed him even into vampirism, where his maker cursed him to live forever merely for the size of his manhood. Now, finally granted a path to freedom, Julian doesn’t dare hope for more than survival. He never expected to be wanted for anything but the power he brings to the bedroom, and he definitely isn’t looking for love. Then Silver explodes into his carefully controlled world like lightning.
On stage with Mythic Beast, Silver is pure fire and thunder, shredding guitar strings and society’s expectations with equal fury, commanding crowds with the same fierce confidence that radiates from every pore. She’s been both submissive and slave in the BDSM community, but she’ll never again submit outside of scenes. Gender is just another box society tries to force people into, and Silver refuses to be contained by anyone’s expectations. Some days she’s fire in leather and lace, other days he’s danger in ripped jeans and attitude.
What Silver wants, Silver fights for. And she wants the gentle giant with haunted eyes and careful manners. She wants to kneel before the vampire who sees all of her — every fierce, fractured, incandescent piece — and claims her just the same.
Two damaged souls who don’t fit society’s rules. One impossible connection.
Julian sees strength where others see defiance. Silver sees worth where Julian sees only broken pieces. Together, they’ll have to decide if love is powerful enough to heal centuries of pain — and whether the risky road to freedom may be worth it when you find someone who makes you want to be your own man.
