Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Vampire Alpha rescues his Omega from a rival house and will break every treaty to keep her—the possessive claiming energy is relentless.

Synopsis

There is no law I won’t break, no treaty I won’t end to keep her by my side. It is my sacred duty to shield any omega under my care from harm. But it is my destiny to protect her. Rescued from the barbarous House Kincade, Versie is a vision. After a lifetime alone, she is finally here. My greatest temptation. My house’s ruin. My perfect mate. And I will stop at nothing to claim her, to keep her as mine, her body and soul bound to me for eternity. Even if it means war.

At a Glance

Katherine St. Vincent writes omegaverse on the sweeter side of the spectrum but this fourth Covenant entry still packs possessive claiming energy. Versie is rescued from House Kincade by an Alpha willing to start a war to keep her. Vampire court politics layered over omegaverse bonding dynamics—readers who want dark romance with fangs but not full explicit heat will find their sweet spot here. Part of a 6-book planned series with interconnected standalones.
