Bloodthirsty Beloved
“Lethal,” he purred. “I think I would walk barefoot over miles of thorns just to touch you.”
King Brey and Queen Ethel were once in love—until they became husband and wife.
While Brey was instantly infatuated upon meeting his betrothed, the arrangement made by her father was an unwelcome surprise for Ethel. Forced to surrender all she knew, Ethel did so reluctantly, and her torn heart broke her husband’s.
Now, the two live lazily in a palace too small for their bitter feelings and venomous words.
But their reign of indulgence has been costly, and they must finally put their union to good use by replenishing the wards that protect the realm.
To complete the deadly tasks awaiting them, they will need to cast their hatred aside and work together—or they could lose far more than a chance to salvage their bloodthirsty love.
A standalone fantasy romance with morally grey vampires, enemies-to-lovers, high heat, found family, monster-riddled quests, forced proximity, arranged marriage, and lots of banter.

Ella Fields
In Ella Fields’ novels, love rarely arrives gently. It storms in, tangled with rivalry, dangerous loyalties, and emotions that refuse to behave. Readers who open one of her books quickly learn that romance, in her hands, is not simply about falling in love, it is about surviving it.
An Australian author who rose to prominence through independent publishing, Fields built her readership by writing the kind of emotionally charged romance that lingers long after the final chapter. Her early contemporary and new adult novels, including Suddenly Forbidden and Pretty Venom, introduced readers to her trademark style, intense relationships, flawed characters, and stories where heartbreak and devotion often walk side by side. Instead of tidy romantic arcs, her books explore jealousy, longing, betrayal, and the fragile moments where love might either heal or destroy.
