To Keep You: An M/M Vampire Dark Romance

About

He was built to destroy monsters. Now one has saved his life — and he can feel it breathing inside his chest.

Patrick Schumacher has spent his life in service to the Order — a secret brotherhood of hunters who keep the peace between humanity and the creatures that would devour it. He is disciplined, precise, and cold in the way only the deeply grieving can be. When a name surfaces in connection with his foster father’s unsolved death, Patrick doesn’t hesitate. He takes the file, cleans his stakes, and goes hunting.

But the vampire called Castor isn’t hiding. Every door stands open. Every gate yields. And when Patrick’s hunt ends with him bleeding out on a dead man’s floor, Castor makes a choice that shatters everything Patrick thought he understood about predators, prey, and the ancient peace he has sworn his life to protect. One act of dark mercy later, Patrick is healed — and tethered, bound by something that hums beneath his own heartbeat like a second pulse he cannot silence. Worse, the creature who put it there claims to know the truth about how Tomas died. Claims the Order’s three-hundred-year peace is built on a lie. Claims he has been waiting, alone with that secret, for someone worth telling.

Patrick has a monster in silver cuffs, a question that cost his father everything, and a warmth behind his sternum that has no business being there. Can he uncover what Tomas died for before the truth destroys the only world he knows — and before he stops being certain which side of this war he’s on?
