The Bride of the Last House

Ina Kovalenko audited a vampire family's shell companies and got her partner killed. Now the tribunal has buried her in the one place no one looks: as the arranged bride of Teodor Rask, last survivor of a house the register believes extinct. Teodor has spent forty years alone in a Carpathian villa, maintaining the fiction. He doesn't want a wife. He wants a witness. Then two bodies turn up on his grounds, drained in a style the tribunal retired decades ago, and Ina's audit instincts take over. Someone has been using the Rask name as a kill site — and the tribunal knows. The ledger that got her partner killed is the same ledger that will clear Teodor's name, if Ina lives to file it.
