What if the price of saving your family was selling your soul to a man who could turn you into a monster?
Kimberly Gary knows poverty better than she knows her own reflection. She wakes at dawn in a crumbling Neo-London cottage, scrubbing the dirt of the wealthy for pennies while her mother dies slowly, her father coughs away his strength, and her brother’s brilliance rots in the gutter of lost opportunity. Survival is her religion, and she is a devout believer.
Enter Dr. Adrian Voss. A man with polished shoes, a mind of knives, and an offer that reeks of salvation and damnation in equal measure. He doesn’t just want a maid, he wants a weapon. With his experiments, Kimberly becomes something else entirely: a creature of claws and hunger, bound to his will beneath every full moon. His assassin. His hitman in fur and blood. Her victims? The corrupt titans of Neo-London’s politics.
But monsters don’t cry. Monsters don’t fall in love. Kimberly does.
Embedded as a servant in the home of her next target Senator Marcus Tristin she collides with Liam, the Senator’s son. Sharp-eyed, disarmingly kind, and utterly human, Liam sees her in a way no one ever has. He asks dangerous questions. He stares like he could strip her secrets bare. And against her better judgment, Kimberly lets him in.
Now she faces the most brutal of dilemmas: kill the father of the man she loves… or betray the only deal keeping her family alive.
Love. Crime. Blood. Moonlight. Blood Moon Bargain is a razor-edged fantasy about desperation, sacrifice, and the monstrous things we do in the name of survival and the even greater risks we take for love.
