Her Dark Salvation (Bonded in Blood Book 1) by Katelyn Brehm

ANNA A made man in the Italian Mafia. An immortal blood demon. I never imagined he’d become my dark salvation. My midlife awakening wasn’t going as planned. I’d wanted to prove I was more than a mousey professor, that I could handle life outside the walls of academia. Turns out, I’d underestimated the real world. My new boss was arrogant, domineering, and dangerous, and he turned me into a live wire that sparked under his thirsty stare. But he wasn’t just thirsty for my body. He craved my blood. I should have quit, should have run away screaming. Instead, I ran right into Marco DeVita’s arms. MARCO Heritage. Family. Blood. The bonds that had tied me to the Boston underworld for almost a century were unbreakable. Or so I thought. Someone in my crew had been stealing from me, had betrayed our family. But to ferret out the snake, I’d needed an expert to find proof. Anna Barone was a distraction I couldn’t afford. Her brilliant mind, hot temper, and even hotter body made my fangs ache with need. I was trapped between my desire and my duty to protect. Because in my world, everything comes at a price. ****** HER DARK SALVATION is the first book in the Bonded in Blood series. Each book is an interconnected, standalone Paranormal Mafia Romance with a guaranteed HEA.
