Dark Tithe

She touched a cursed reliquary. Now she owes forty nights to the most dangerous court in existence — and the two men who run it.

Mira Voss has spent seven years authenticating the impossible for the highest bidders in London. She knows exactly what priceless things are worth. She didn't know the small silver vessel she touched at auction would bind her soul to a vampire lord's court — or that refusing wasn't an option.

Vasile Crain has ruled Blackmere Keep for six centuries. Precise, controlled, impossibly patient — he doesn't want much from the world anymore. But Mira can feel what he's holding behind all that careful stillness, and it's nothing like indifference. Rook Ashvale, his half-fae enforcer, is the one who came to collect her — warm amber eyes, unflinching honesty, and a way of looking at her like he's already decided she matters. She's a soul-reader. She always knows the difference between what's performed and what's real. Both of them are completely, dangerously real.

The oath is simple: forty nights in the keep, use her gift for the court, and walk free. The complication is everything else — the underground library that spans five floors of ancient stone, the hot springs cut into Carpathian rock, and two men who want her in ways that have nothing to do with the terms.

But the oath dissolves at midnight on the thirty-ninth night. And Mira has to decide whether forty nights was ever going to be enough.

Dark Tithe is a paranormal why-choose romance featuring vampire court politics, a soul-reader heroine, a centuries-old blood oath, and two men who will not share her and will absolutely share her. No cheating. HEA guaranteed.
