I signed a five-year marriage contract to erase my father's thirty-two-million-dollar debt. I didn't realize I'd just sold my blood-and my soul-to a billionaire vampire.
When Clara Hayes' crumbling ancestral estate is days from foreclosure, Gideon Shaw walks through the door like a living death sentence-an untouchable hedge-fund titan whose name is spoken in the financial districts like a curse. He offers Clara an impossible bargain: her father's debts erased, the Hayes manor restored, and a life of obscene luxury...in exchange for becoming his wife and providing a monthly medical donation in his private tower. But behind the polished contract and platinum ring lurks the truth-Gideon is an ancient vampire, and Clara's veins are the only thing keeping his monstrous hunger under control.
Locked in a penthouse that feels more like a gilded cage than a fairy-tale rescue, Clara fights to keep her identity as an artist alive, turning Gideon's fortress of steel and glass into a riot of color and canvases even as he turns her into his personal blood source. Each tithe in his medical suite blurs the line between violation and ecstasy, his venom flooding her system with narcotic pleasure that rewires her fear into craving and binds her to him with a predatory, psychic bond. Gideon swears he's only protecting what's his-but the more he feeds, the more the beast under his bespoke suits stops pretending to be human at all.
In the glittering hell of vampire galas and corporate conclaves, Clara is thrust into a secret society where immortal predators wear boardroom power like armor and her mortal pulse is a dinner bell in a room full of monsters. As Gideon parades her as his queen before the ruling council, enemies circle: Silas Vane, an ancient rival who wants Gideon's empire, his city, and his human bride on his dissection table. When Clara is abducted to an underground biomedical facility and strapped into a chair built for slaughter, Gideon stops playing by corporate rules and tears through steel and concrete to reach her, proving he is far more terrifying than the legends whispered about him.
Surviving Silas's trap forces Clara to confront the darkest truth of all: she's no longer just a human bargaining chip. Marked by Gideon's bite and bound to him mind-to-mind and vein-to-vein, she becomes the obsidian muse-an artist whose work captures the war between light and void, and a queen who chooses to drink from her monster in return, trading the safety of the sun for a throne in his shadows. To keep the life she's built, Clara must decide whether to break the bond and walk back into a mortal world that will never be safe for her again...or embrace the magnificent, merciless darkness of the man who would burn a city to ash rather than lose her.
The Obsidian Muse is a pulse-pounding dark billionaire vampire romance featuring a ruthless, obsessively protective immortal husband, a desperate artist heroine turned queen, and a bond of blood and power that blurs the line between cage and sanctuary.
