Provocation - Paperback

by Katja Desjarlais (Author)

Rhys Kaius was chosen and groomed to be the perfect vampire: Resourceful, remorseless, and unscrupulous. He's spent centuries running the underground Tender trade in the haunt, training women as courtesans for the vampire elite and trading them for wealth, favors, and reputation. Idolized by few and despised by most, his list of enemies runs as long as the requests for his curated companions. But when his favorite Tender goes rogue, neither his reputation nor his wealth can keep his fate untangled from hers. Lis Bruckner made headlines with her tale of being a Tender within the vampire world and now finds herself captured and held in the cells below the place she once called home. The countdown has begun and the clock is ticking. Will Rhys and Lis manage to break free from their prison or will their story become the Shakespearean tragedy the public demands?
