Once Burned
by Jeaniene Frost
Leila is a woman with a dangerous gift—she can kill with a touch—which makes her a natural target for those who want to weaponize her ability. Enter Vlad Tepesh, a vampire lord whose reputation is as sharp and lethal as his temper. When they are forced together, the sparks fly not just from the constant threat of violence, but from the raw, prickly chemistry between them. This is a high-octane ride where the stakes are always personal and the banter is as deadly as the combat. It feels like a late-night adrenaline rush, balancing intense, scorched-earth romance with a fast-moving plot that refuses to slow down. If you want a heroine who refuses to be a damsel and a hero who is as terrifying as he is magnetic, this is your next obsession.
