Eternally Bound
By Michelle M. Pillow
Tribes of the Vampire Series Book #3
From bestselling author Michelle M. Pillow, Redeemer of Shadows is a dark paranormal romance with sexy vampires and is perfect for fans of Filthy Rich Vampires.
A dark secret. A deadly obsession. An impossible love.
Tatiana Sinclair has always known her place as a sheltered noblewoman destined for a respectable marriage. But when her brother’s reckless violence leaves a maid dead, she’s thrust into a brutal cover-up that shatters her perfect world.
Haunted by guilt and the chilling presence of Count Marcello Spoleti, the enigmatic, dangerously sensual vampire who witnessed their crime, Tatiana’s life spirals into a realm of seduction and terror.
Count Spoleti never expected to be captivated by a mortal—especially not one as stubborn and intriguing as Tatiana. Drawn to the fire in her spirit, he sees not just a beauty to possess but a soul to consume.
When he forces her father to hand her over as payment for the family’s sins, Tatiana finds herself bound to a man who is both protector and predator, and intent on making her surrender completely.
As shadows of desire and darkness intertwine, Tatiana must confront a haunting question: Is Marcello her captor, her savior, or the harbinger of her doom?
In a world where passion is a weapon and love is a curse, one wrong move could mean losing everything… including her soul.
Eternally Bound is the third book in the Tribes of the Vampire quartet, which starts with Redeemer of Shadows, followed by The Jaded Hunter and continues with In Her Shadows.
Perfect for fans of dark paranormal romance and urban fantasy, Eternally Bound weaves gothic intrigue with a seductive, supernatural twist, blending themes of forbidden love, dark obsession, and morally gray antiheroes. Comparable to the sensual danger of Anne Rice, the brooding intensity of J.R. Ward, and the dark romantic tension of Katee Robert.

Recognition and Reviews
★★★★☆ 4.1 · Goodreads (150 ratings)
5 Stars! “Hot is too tame a word. There is hot and there is hawwwwwwwwt. This book is the latter. Who would’ve thought that such cold-blooded creatures as vampires could, in fact, be so hot? Tatiana and Marcello’s story sure comes into that heat category.” – Caroline Paquin, Goodreads
5 Stars! “Past, present & future.

Loved it!” – Patty, Goodreads
5 Stars! “Again I must say that I am loving this series. I thought books 1 & 2 were a compelling read but book 3 surpasses this. Our 2 main characters Marcello and Tatiana make for compelling reading. Full of passion and love. Another brilliantly written book.” – Bookworm Betty, Goodreads

5 Stars! “It’s set in the 1890’s, so that adds some interesting elements to the read. Our lead Tatiana can be a bit of a damsel, but she has tenacity. Enjoy the bit of Beauty and the Beast scenario with Tatiana having to go with vampire Marcello to keep her family’s secrets hidden. … Good steam and passion between these two!” – ShanCol19, BookBub
5 Stars! “I found Tatiana Sinclair and Count Marcello Spoleti’s story increasingly engrossing, anchored by moving emotional depth and the imaginative revelation of Tatiana’s heritage. The blend of vampires, lycans, witches, and spirits is compelling, and Jiri’s appearance offered a hopeful glimpse into the future of Vladimir’s line as the series nears its conclusion.” – Barj70, BookBub
