Maurice Temple
Jacobi, a human-vampire hybrid bred for war, and Pauline, a journalist who despises his kind, are thrust into an uneasy alliance—one that sparks a dangerous hunger capable of consuming them both.
Across worlds torn by centuries of war between humans and vampires, Jacobi, a battle-scarred sentient, is forced to work with Pauline, a journalist who sees his kind as humanity’s greatest mistake. By day, Pauline is a journalist; by night, she indulges in xenophobic forums. When her editor discovers her secret, she’s given an ultimatum: write a feature on a hospitalized sentient or risk losing her career.
Jacobi had always been a loyal soldier of the Commonwealth. But when he witnessed his fellow sentients being sold to enemy vampires in exchange for human prisoners, his faith in his cause is shattered. Forbidden to speak of what he saw under the threat of centuries of torture, Jacobi struggles to remain silent.
When Pauline, a determined journalist, begins pushing for the truth, Jacobi finds himself torn between protecting his secret and the growing desire to reveal it to her. As his craving for her blood intensifies and his feelings for her shift from hostility to forbidden affection, keeping his past hidden becomes a battle he can’t win.
