Wicked as She Wants

The second book in the darkly tempting Blud series, featuring a vampire princess who embarks upon a dangerous journey to claim what is rightfully hers.

The source of both sensations is a handsome and mysterious man named Casper Sterling. Once the most celebrated musician in London, Sangland, he's fallen on hard times. Now, much to Ahna's frustration, the debauched and reckless human is her only ticket back home to the snow-rimmed and magical land of Freesia.

Back in her country, she is forced to choose between the heart she never knew she had and the land that she was born to rule. But with Casper's help, Ahna may find a way to have it all….
