Risking Immortality
The Loch & Key Series, Book 1
By Alyson Root
Can Amelia trust Erin with her truth, her heart—and her immortality.
Amelia Loch has a secret…
She knows humanity’s prejudices against her kind are little more than delusional nightmares. Born, not made, vampires have been forced into the shadows by human ignorance. In any case, the Loch family, like many vampire clans, has thrived over the centuries. Building a successful business empire of bars and nightclubs means that their wealth and influence allows them to move around, easily remaining hidden in plain sight to avoid human suspicion. The bookwormish heiress, Amelia Loch, has thus never struggled to maintain a safe distance from the humans who vilify her species—and everyone else for that matter. But the time has come for Amelia to step out of the shadows, and the stakes have never been higher.
If Amelia doesn’t find her soulmate by the time the sun sets on her thirtieth birthday, she risks a descent into eternal madness. The fate of an unmated vampire is worse than death, both for the vamp and their family, who would be left no choice but to end their suffering.
Enter Erin, a feisty blonde bartender who captures Amelia’s attention and challenges her beliefs. Erin is everything Amelia had hoped for, except for one small detail: she’s human. Though it’s uncertain if a vampire and a human can successfully bond, Erin may be Amelia’s only hope. In a race against time, will love be enough to defy centuries of prejudice and prevent Amelia’s descent into darkness?
Amelia must decide if she can trust Erin with her truth, her heart—and her immortality.
