Blood Bond - Bloodline Saga, #1 - E-book - ePub

Trapped in a cult she will one day be expected to lead, and betrothed to a man she despises, Matra has lost all hope of ever again seeing Christopher-the vampire she was forbidden to love, who left five years ago with the rest of his kind. But fate delivers her an opportunity to escape and magic delivers her a new reason to fight: the inexplicable child-Christopher's child-she's carrying in secret.
If anyone in her "family" discovers her betrayal, she will lose not just her hope of ever seeing Christopher again, but her unborn daughter's very life. The sweet taste of Matra's blood was still on his tongue when Christopher abandoned her to the whims of her deranged "family." Their worlds diverged into Us and Them with the introduction of laws that forced the relocation of his kind. But now that he has the backing of the most powerful vampire in the world-and a one day pass back into the human sector-when he finds Matra again, he won't let anything stop him from keeping her by his side. Destiny and magic conspire once more to lead them to each other, but Matra and Christopher's reunion is heavy with risk.
To keep their child safe, they must embrace forbidden power that could get them captured-if not killed. Because if anyone finds out the girl is impossibly Christopher's daughter-or the lengths he will go to keep her safe-it won't just be Matra's family, but the entire world that descends into darkness. Blood Bond is a character-driven, slow burn (with a high-heat payoff) cult and vampire urban fantasy romance featuring tropes such as lost love found, unbalanced power dynamics, childhood love, surprise pregnancy, magical pregnancy, found family, and a woman overcoming her past to forge her desired future.
