She can't be thralled. She can't be glamoured. She's the one thing neither side can control — and both of them want her anyway.
Mara Voss is a null-blood: her presence negates supernatural compulsion within fifteen feet. She's been "borrowed" by the vampire court of Graventhorne as a neutral witness for a high-stakes treaty negotiation between vampires and fae. Four days. Five at most. She'll sign the documents and go home.
Aldric has held his estate for three hundred and twelve years. He is controlled, cold, precise — and entirely incapable of lying to the one woman in the world who can see through every tool he possesses. When he finds her alone in his library in the dark, reading books she can't translate because they're beautiful, something shifts in him he hasn't felt in centuries.
Finn is the fae emissary on the other side of the table: warm, direct, reckless with his honesty, and immune to strategy in exactly the same way Mara is immune to compulsion. He tells her his negotiating plan on day one because there's no point in pretending. He knocks on her door at midnight and says what he means.
Mara has spent her entire life seeing things exactly as they are, unable to be charmed, unable to be led. She chose nothing on impulse. She chose both of them with her eyes open.
The Binding is a paranormal vampire-fae romance featuring MFM why-choose, forced proximity, enemies-to-allies slow burn, and a heroine whose immunity is her superpower. No cheating. HEA guaranteed.
