Bloodplay

To settle a debt he can't pay, Euphoria's father hands her over to his employer, Loki, a dhampir with a taste for cruelty and a hobby of collecting broken things for entertainment. Loki expects a frightened girl who folds the moment his fangs come out. He has no idea what he's just brought home. Raised on violence long before Loki ever laid a hand on her, Euphoria stopped breaking. What her father saw as a liability, Loki is about to discover is something else entirely: an assassin hiding inside the shape of a victim with no intention of playing the part he picked for her. What follows is a collision between two people who have only ever understood power as a weapon, and neither one is willing to put it down. Bloodplay doesn't soften its monsters or promise its villain will change. It's a dark romance where violent obsession reigns without apology or absolution, and a love story that never once pretends to be a fairytale.
