The Duke's Passion

The Duke's Passion is an electrifying action novel where the destiny of a kingdom is entwined with a forbidden yearning. Within the clandestine Heart's Kingdom, a realm dominated by vampires and subservient humans, Lilou, a spirited peasant girl, becomes the singular fixation of Samael, the most fearsome and deranged vampire known. Initially declaring her his "reserved meal," Samael then shockingly demands her hand in marriage. Lilou is trapped in a perilous interplay with her captor, her palpable fear a stark contrast to his demanding stare. Her terror escalates when Samael presents her with a freshly beating heart, a brutal demonstration of his power. His chilling inquiry, "do you now believe I’m good at capturing hearts?" resonates deeply as he pulverizes the organ to dust before her. Her quivering response, "Yes," seals her unwilling complicity.
