Contemporary paranormal romance — explicit, open door. · The Montreal Registry
The Cold Hours
The guest in 1102 has not eaten in six weeks. At four in the morning, the night auditor is the one who asks him what it would take — and what it would cost her.
Nadège Sainvil works eleven to seven in a downtown Montreal tower because the ledger is finite and correct in a way people are not. Emeric Aurel is a hundred and sixty years old, starving politely inside the rules, and will not ask a human for blood. So she asks him instead — out loud, standing up, in plain words.
Three weeks in, the arrangement is the only warm thing in either of their lives. Then a Registry auditor asks to see his donor file, and Nadège's name is nowhere on it. Every feed she consented to was unregistered, and unregistered feeding gets him struck from the supply list and relocated out of the city inside thirty days.
The only repair is a filed registration and a supervised probation: clinic appointments, blood panels, a caseworker at her kitchen table asking who sleeps where. Somewhere between the second panel and the hearing, Nadège stops calculating. Eight days out, she is offered a clean exit — sign a statement, keep her job, keep her name off a register that never comes off, and let him go alone. And she learns he has already told his advocate she will sign it.
An explicit, cold-to-warm vampire romance where the power he holds is the ordinary kind, every yes is spoken out loud, and the paperwork is the love story. Guaranteed HEA.
Perfect for fans of Jeaniene Frost and Katee Robert.
