Moonlit Bargains

When the blood moon rises, bargains turn into battles.

Greyhaven has survived the first strike from the Vampire Court, but under a blood-red sky the war of oaths deepens.
Selene, the centuries-old vampire who opened a late-night café instead of spilling blood, is still bound by whispers of her sire's salt-written chains. Clara, the town's pragmatic single-mother mayor, has held her people together with ledgers, laws, and sheer stubborn love. Together, they must face the court's cruelest trick yet: twisting Greyhaven's hard-won Compact into a weapon, and offering "corridors" of aid that come at the price of Selene's freedom.

As wolves prowl, propaganda barges film, and the past claws its way out of the tide, Selene and Clara's forbidden romance grows into the one thing the Court cannot rewrite: a partnership of choice, consent, and defiance. But when Verenne-the court's velvet-clad emissary-steps into the square with a final demand, Greyhaven must decide: stand firm and starve, or surrender the vampire who has become their fiercest protector.

If you love sapphic paranormal romance, witches and wolves, found-family towns that fight back, and the slow-burn fire of enemies-to-lovers tension turned soul-deep partnership, Moonlit Bargains will sweep you away.

Perfect for fans of:
