Blood & Ember - Vanessa Noir

She came for a birthday getaway. She stayed to be claimed.

When Ember Cruz rents a secluded mountainside cabin for her birthday with friends, she’s expecting snow, wine, and a distraction from her broken heart. Not the cold-eyed, stunning landlord who watches her like a wolf watches prey.

Seraphine Vale is ancient, dominant, and impossible to resist. A reclusive vampire who hasn’t taken a lover in over a century, she lives by rules. Control. Distance. But Ember tests her resolve from the moment their eyes meet, and when Ember disobeys, Seraphine shows her exactly what it means to surrender.

What begins as a forbidden affair quickly spirals into obsession, power, and pain. Ember gives Seraphine her obedience. Her body. Her blood. But what she wants in return is the one thing Seraphine has vowed never to give again:

Her heart.

As passion turns primal and dominance turns to devotion, Ember must decide: walk away before she’s consumed, or step fully into the fire and become Seraphine’s forever.

Blood and Ember is a darkly seductive lesbian age gap romance that blends vampire mythology with BDSM, obsession, and emotional unraveling. Expect power play, fangs, collars, and the kind of heat that melts even the coldest hearts.
