She never believed in vampires. Until one saved her life—and claimed her soul.
Madison Rivers has two rules: finish grad school and survive her club shifts without drama. But when a deadly encounter in a dark Toronto alley brings her face-to-face with Corvus—a vampire who's walked the earth for two centuries—both rules shatter in an instant.
He should terrify her. Instead, she can't stop thinking about the way his storm-grey eyes see through every lie she's ever told herself.
Corvus has spent 200 years keeping his distance from humans. They're fragile, temporary, forgettable. But Madison is different. She's not entirely human, though she doesn't know it yet. And the fae blood singing in her veins makes her the most dangerous thing he's ever wanted.
Their attraction is forbidden. Their bond is undeniable. And a rival vampire will destroy them both to possess her power.
In the shadows of Toronto's glittering nightlife, ancient vampire politics collide with a love that could start a war. Corvus will break every rule to protect her. Madison will risk everything to claim him.
But when the vampire court discovers what she is, choosing love might cost them both their lives.
Claimed After Dark is the first book in the Nightbound Trilogy—a sizzling urban fantasy romance perfect for fans of J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series, and Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress Chronicles.
