An emotional origins story, Pieces of You tells Jeremy Riviera's story-the rise and ruin of a man who loved too deeply, lost everything, and was forced to learn how to live with the monster he became. Set between Jeremy's human past and his early years as a vampire, this instalment of The Soulbound Series blends dark romance, romantic suspense, and supernatural drama, as one reckless decision spirals into obsession, heartbreak, and transformation.
At its core, Pieces of You is a vampire romance filled with slow-burn tension, aching yearning, jealousy, and emotional devastation. It explores how obsession can blur into devotion, how grief can twist love into something dangerous, and how even the undead are not immune to heartbreak. It is perfect for readers who love fake dating, forced proximity, spicy slow-burn romance, found-family dynamics, and emotionally intense love stories where passion and pain walk hand in hand.
Jeremy's story asks one haunting question: What happens when the love that defines you is also the thing that destroys you?
Pieces of You can be enjoyed as a standalone while deepening the world of The Soulbound Series.
Blurb
In 1993, Jeremy Riviera had it all: the body of a Greek god, a genius-level IQ, and a full-ride scholarship to MIT. He was used to getting what he wanted-and who he wanted. Emily Chessington, however, the object of his desires, isn't impressed. But she does need a boyfriend. Someone who can survive her image-obsessed mother and the suffocating expectations of her world. Jeremy? Perfect candidate. He agrees to fake date her, telling himself it's temporary, that he can control it, that he can make her fall in love with him, that he will keep his jealousy in check. Spoiler alert: he doesn't.
What begins as a lie becomes obsession. Pretense becomes proximity. Proximity becomes devotion. Jeremy falls first-and for a long time, he falls alone. Loving Emily, truly loving her, will scar him in ways he never saw coming.
By 1996, the man Jeremy once was is gone. Broken, newly turned, and no longer human, he must reckon with the aftermath of a life destroyed. Under the brutal guidance of his mentors, he learns to survive as a vampire-how to bury emotions before they become lethal, how to turn pain into control, and how to wield charm and fists as weapons.
But grief has teeth. And love has a way of haunting even the undead. Torn between past and present, humanity and monstrosity, he must confront what he has become... and the one name he can't forget: Emily.
