Taken by Touch and Torment

by Maggie Sunseri

Book 2 in Eternal Obsession

This is the one you only hand to readers who explicitly want dark vampire romance with teeth. Scarlett's captivity and Rune's obsession make it brutal, but the payoff is built around survival, rage, and a love story that refuses to stay pretty.
