Contemporary paranormal romance — explicit, open door. · The Montreal Registry

The First Warm Thing

The ice storm took the power, the bridges and the heat. The tenant on the top floor has not fed in nine days, and he will not take her blood.

Maëlle Phan holds every key to a converted textile building in Montreal's Mile End, and for two years she has politely not asked about the man upstairs who never gets mail before six. Corentin Le Goff is two hundred and six years old, confined to his address by the Registry's emergency order, and too cold to warm himself. When she offers, he refuses in full sentences: any feeding off the register goes on the record, and her name with it, permanently.

Then the generator dies, the thaw slips three more days, and Maëlle asks again. Not to rescue him. Because she has wanted him since long before the storm. When the Registry arrives on the third morning and he takes the violation alone to spare her, she has one more thing to decide out loud.

An explicit, cold-to-warm vampire romance. No thrall, no turning, every yes spoken aloud. A standalone in The Montreal Registry. Guaranteed HEA.

Perfect for fans of Jeaniene Frost and J.R. Ward.
