Claiming the Blood Prince

Junie Okafor stun-nets the wrong vampire: Prince Aleksei Marek, heir to Prague's oldest house, very awake, very annoyed, and very much the reason her bounty license is on the line. The tribunal offers a plea she can't refuse — two years as the prince's bonded wife and bodyguard, and every debt on her books is cleared. Aleksei has his own reasons. Someone in his house is selling the family's blood maps to a human cartel, and a bonded wife with a hunter's nose is the only witness he trusts. Their marriage is a stakeout across Prague, through three assassination attempts and one disastrous family dinner. Junie falls first. Aleksei admits it last.
