The Beginning - LM Morgan

Wynter was looking for one night that felt like living. What she found was a cage with elegant walls.

Marcus rules his world with cold precision, a vampire who has long since stopped pretending humans are anything more than cattle. He collects them, contracts them, uses them. And when Wynter steps unknowingly into his domain, he doesn't just see another acquisition. He sees something rarer: a despair worth savouring.

Ensnared by a blood slave contract before she understands what she's agreed to, Wynter finds herself stripped of choice and pulled into a shadow world she was never meant to know existed. Marcus is not cruel for the sake of it, he is worse than that. He is deliberate. Patient. A predator who prefers the hunt to the kill, and who finds particular pleasure in watching Wynter struggle against a leash she cannot break.

Survival becomes her only currency. Every small defiance costs her. Every moment of fear feeds him. And the longer she remains in his world, the more she begins to understand that escape was never really on the table, only endurance, and whatever fractured version of herself she can hold together in the dark.

For fans of gothic vampire fiction with teeth.
