«Craving a Royal» by Makayla Roberts

Freedom calls for a bit of seduction.

Salvator is used to women throwing themselves at him left and right, so it’s a mockery to his reputation that the one woman he can’t get enough of refuses to have anything to do with him. After suffering weeks of silent brooding, he finally catches a break when Naomi ventures into his club. She wants to pretend their bond doesn’t exist, but he can be just as stubborn when it comes to getting what he wants—and what he wants is for her to surrender to him, body and soul.

Naomi is on a dangerous mission to discover the truth behind her mother’s death, so she can’t afford any distractions. By distraction, she means the annoying, too-beautiful-for-his-own-good Salvator Gordano, a vampire whose very existence fills her with both hatred and yearning. She’d rather endure any amount of torture than spend another moment in his presence, but there’s no denying the way his gentle caresses and toe-curling kisses threatened to weaken her resolve.

Though Sal will do whatever it takes to get Naomi to see that only he could provide her with an eternity of love and devotion, his only hope is that he can win her heart before the darkness of her past claims her for good.
