Eternally Bound

By Michelle M. Pillow

Tribes of the Vampire Series Book #3

A dark secret. A deadly obsession. An impossible love.

Tatiana Sinclair has always known her place—a sheltered noblewoman destined for a respectable marriage. But when her brother’s reckless violence leaves a maid dead, Tatiana is 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—intent on making her surrender completely.

But 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.

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.
