Description:
Sanguinaria, 1985. In a world partially based on our own, will one down-on-her-luck 30-year-old human manage to rebuild a vampire mafia empire?
When Morgan Holt's grandmother passes away and she inherits her debt, Morgan has no choice but to join the vampire mafia, called the Syndicate, to pay off the exorbitant amount.
However, earning the approval of her ornery boss, Lys de Beauvau, is more difficult than she could have ever imagined, especially once sparks start flying between them. At the same time, underlying political conflicts between the de Beauvau Family and their rival, the de Sade Family, rise to a boiling point. Will Lys and Morgan make it out unscathed, or will the leader of the de Sade Family, Mauve de Sade, be their downfall?
