Their attraction was poison and pleasure, but in the shadows of New Orleans...neither will resist going down in flames. I bow to no man. The words are tattooed on my skin, just as they're branded on my heart. But I never planned for Sergeant Lincoln Asher, a man as deceptive as he is cold. His dominance sets my teeth on edge . . . and my body on fire. He won't stop until I'm his, but I'm not his to take. My secrets bind me-and blind me. I live in the shadows of New Orleans. Hidden and protected in the underworld I call home. I know who I am. I vow never to kneel before a man... Save one. And he will be my downfall. The Blood Duet is a dark and gritty age-gap romance, featuring a heroine on the run and a possessive, morally grey hero. It includes both Sworn and Defied.
