Filthy Rich Vampires Second Rite

Thea Melbourne is trying to rebuild an ordinary life a month after everything fell apart. Her mother is in a coma, and she is selling off designer gowns to cover the bills. Her roommates treat her as though she might shatter.

Then Julian, the vampire who broke her heart, turns up at the hospital. He tells her something she did not know: he pushed her away to save her life. Since then he has been living with the pain and the regret, and he half hopes someone will end it for him.

Thea is still in danger, and Julian has to choose. The Council demands that he keep his distance. Staying away is safe for him, but going back to her could cost them both their lives.

Winning her back means facing his own dark secrets and holding off the urge to claim her as his mate. Thea has no intention of making it easy.

This is paranormal romance with a sensual heat, and it continues the story of Julian and Thea from the first book in the Filthy Rich Vampires series. The tone is emotional and charged, with the couple's separation and the threat hanging over her driving the pace.
