They don’t call it captivity.
They call it supply.

For over a year, I’ve been kept alive because dead girls don’t bleed.
Every morning, they open my veins. Every night, they leave just enough in me to wake up and do it again.

I stopped praying for rescue a long time ago.

Then he walks in.
Tall. Pale. Beautiful in a way that feels less human than hunger.
He studies me like livestock. Like I’m already his. Then tells my handlers he wants me.

They refuse.
So he buys time with my blood instead.

The first time his mouth finds my throat, I brace for pain. For teeth. For terror.
I don’t brace for pleasure.
I don’t brace for wanting him to do it again.

Then he makes his terms clear.
No more needles. No more buyers. No one drinks from me but him.

He doesn’t free me.
He claims me.

But every visit leaves me stronger. Every touch pulls me deeper under. And the vampire who looked at me like he owned me starts looking at me like I’m something he can’t afford to want.
He holds himself back like restraint is the last decent thing left in him.
Every night, that restraint gets thinner.

Then he buys me.
Not for an hour. Not for a taste.

Forever.

Behind locked doors and old stone walls, I’m safer than I’ve been in a year.
I’m also owned by a vampire whose hunger has started to look a lot like obsession.

He says the moment I walk out, they’ll take me back.
He says belonging to him is the only thing keeping me alive.
Maybe he’s right.
And maybe I’m exactly where I want to be.
That’s what scares me most.

Then he vanishes, and the choice he never meant to give me is suddenly mine.
I can run from the pipeline. From the dealers. From the vampire who paid a fortune to own me.
Or I can go after him.

Not because he owns me.
Because I’ve decided I’m not living without him.

Bought for Blood is the fourteenth steamy installment in the DRAGONBLOOD DYNASTY series…and the first with a vampire at its heart. This dark paranormal romance delivers a captive heroine, a possessive vampire hero, sensual blood-drinking, forced proximity, forbidden desire, touch-her-and-die obsession, magic-blood shifters, and a captive who turns rescuer. Perfect for fans of J.R. Ward, Christine Feehan, and Nalini Singh.
