The Blood Duke, Edgar Collins, is a creature of night and violence, bound to a king who delights in his suffering. When a desperate baron offers information about four missing girls with rare blood, Edgar finds himself at a masquerade ball, hunting for answers and battling his own insatiable hunger. But it's not the missing girls that truly capture his attention; it's Alessandra, the baron's cursed daughter, hidden behind a silver mask and radiating a scent that awakens a primal hunger he hasn't felt in eighty years. She offers him a loveless marriage, a contract of convenience to escape her father's prison, but the truth behind her mask—and the scent of iron, rain, and something ancient—threatens to shatter his control and reveal a connection to the very mystery he's trying to solve. Can a vampire duke marry a woman whose very presence ignites his deadliest instincts, especially when she might hold the key to the vanished?
