Blood of Vitali

He's been alive for two hundred and fifty years. She's the first thing that's made him feel mortal.

Caterina Conti restores damaged things for a living. When she's hired to work on a sixteenth-century portrait at Milan's most exclusive palazzo, she expects old canvases and older secrets—not a man whose touch runs cold and whose eyes hold centuries.

Alessandro Vitali has survived wars, plagues, and rivals who wanted him dead. He's protected his family's dynasty by never letting anyone close. But the restorer with warm hands and sharper questions sees through every wall he's built—and he can't make himself send her away.

When a rival family starts watching Caterina, Alessandro realizes his obsession has made her a target. Someone wants her for reasons neither of them understand. And keeping her safe means revealing truths that could destroy everything between them.

Some secrets are buried for centuries. Some should stay that way.

Blood of the Vitali is a dark paranormal romance featuring an immortal antihero, open-door heat, and a cliffhanger ending. Book 1 of the Sanguinan Dynasty series.
