High Stakes: Blood Gambit
The first installment of the High Stakes Saga
At the turn of the new millennium, the vampires took over the world.
In the ruins of London, Victor Crimson is in charge.
But not everyone plays by his rules.
Lucy Bird has nothing left to lose. Her city is a graveyard, ruled by the monster who killed her mother. The Crimson Casino is his palace of power, and Lucy walks through its doors with only one goal: kill the kingpin and avenge the dead.
She didn’t count on falling for Victors heir.
Broken by blood, death, and addiction, the future ruler of London has learned to be colder than the corpses he leaves behind. But the human woman with fire in her eyes and secrets under her skin is a threat he can’t ignore - and a new addiction he can’t afford.
And Victor? The man she came to kill is already dying, and his heir has no desire to take the throne.
Beneath the shimmering facade of money and power, a war is brewing, fed by jealousy, sibling rivalry, and the hunger for control.
The Crimson empire is bleeding from the inside out.
And Lucy?
She’s the wild card that brings a monster to his knees.
