Bend the knee. Take the Oath. Live forever.

South Boston, 1970.

Leigh

My world collapsed when my husband died in Vietnam two years ago. Now, I'm ready to begin living my life again, starting by making amends with a longtime friend.

Charming Dublin expat Michael Kelly runs the most popular pub in Southie. Our reunion has me seeing him in an entirely different light. I never imagined he would be hiding an earth-shattering secret from me. When I'm suddenly attacked by a rogue vampire and Michael rushes to my rescue, the unthinkable is revealed.

My hot best friend is a vampire.

But not just any vampire. The Irish high king of vampires.

And he's been protecting me from the shadows all this time.

Michael

No crowd of revelers has ever been as welcome a sight as that of Leigh Austen walking back into my life. I've managed to keep Boston's vampiric underworld secret from her for 10 years. Hiding my heart and my bloodlust from her was difficult enough when she was married. Now? It's impossible.

I have two choices: erase Leigh's memory, or see if she's strong enough to handle me as I am, the reluctant king of a clandestine brotherhood.

But Leigh discovering vampires in Southie is the least of my problems. My brothers are up in arms, agitated by the bloodshed in Ireland. Mysterious deaths have the whole city spooked, and the appearance of enemy vampires in my territory threatens a precarious peace.

I have to maintain order and protect the woman I've always loved. As Leigh steps into my realm, she'll be forced to confront issues of power and politics that threaten to disrupt my reign on every side.

If that doesn't scare her away, she'll have to face the Morrigan herself. And I cannot keep her safe in the land beyond the fog.

Will Leigh take the Oath, or be found unworthy?

Celtic mythology intertwines with the rich history of Irish immigration in this suspenseful paranormal romance, set against the backdrop of The Troubles.
