BloodLily - Jessika Grewe Glover

\nShe will be my ruination\n \n\n \nOphelia has lost everything. Since her parents' deaths a decade ago, she has worked hand-to-mouth to make rent and fund the boutique hotel she is opening, which has led her to a job as blood donor to a centuries-old vampire.\n \nJavier has one rule: no carnal acts with his donors. He's been reclusive since before the Great War. His new donor, Ophelia, awakens something fevered in him he hasn't known in decades. If ever. The more he tries to fight his smoldering attraction to her, wary of exposing her to his world of violence, the more futile his efforts become. When Ophelia's body responds to Javier during a feeding appointment, it sets them both on a path neither expected.\n \n\n \nSomething ancient and deadly is stalking Ophelia's life, using her to get to Javier. The presence will try to tear the two apart, but the danger and bloodshed only draw them closer, revealing parts of their pasts that could lead to their destruction. Or the star collision of fate that brings them together.\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n
