Bound by the Blood Oath

Scarlett, the beautiful young woman with no past, is desperate to succeed in the mortal world. She's heard tales of the royal vampires and their vast kingdom but never dreamed of becoming embroiled in their world. When her life goes black and she's falsely accused of doing something she doesn't do, she has only one hope for survival: making a special contract with Prince Kael, the cold, mysterious heir to the vampire throne.
Kael, always the strategic prince, wants to rule his kingdom with absolute power, and for this, he requires a partner who will assist him in dominating the hidden truths of the human world. Scarlett is a player in this fatal game — her heritage, once a secret, now binds her to powers that are centuries old and could destroy or strengthen him.
Born of blood obligation, Scarlett is a bound servant to Kael for an agreed period of years, to aid him in his schemes. But the bargain is made under vile conditions. If she declines, she will be killed. With the coming of the years, Scarlett gains a glimpse behind the prince's mask — the tormented mind beneath the despot's exterior. Even though their bond is increasing, Kael's inability to trust her and his lingering secrets render her incapable of trusting him.
With the end date of their contract coming near, Scarlett is faced with a dilemma. Will she remain a faithful subject to Kael, keeping true to the stipulations of the contract, or will she defy the contract and flee? While this is being decided, Kael is realizing that the person he thought he could commandeer may just end up changing all that he knows.
