Her Vampire Brother

The night Joshua vanished, Alyssa was certain it was her fault. Hours earlier, she had scissors and a grudge and the good-luck charm he made her, and she cut all three cords just to get even for a party she wasn't invited to. She planned to apologize at breakfast. He never came home. No note, no car, no body, no answers, and a small town full of people who eventually stopped looking. Alyssa never did.

Years later she has an ordinary life, and when Carl, the boy next door, proposes on her birthday, it feels like the storybook beginning she always wanted. Then the past walks through her front door. Joshua is back. He looks exactly as he did the day he disappeared, and he is not human anymore. Her missing brother has been living as a vampire, bound in service to Elvis, the crown prince of their hidden world, the same arrogant stranger who crashed her engagement, declared her his, and slid a betrothal contract across the table while her terrified parents watched.

Alyssa wants none of it. She is dragged to a palace she cannot leave, surrounded by creatures who hear every whispered plan, and the prince keeps repeating the one word she refuses to accept: mate. Fated. Permanent. Non-negotiable. So she fights. She maps escape routes with her best friend Emily. She schemes to make him hate her, stages a seduction as an act of pure revenge, and tells herself the burn under her skin whenever he touches her is rage. It is getting harder to fake.

Then a single bite changes everything. Alyssa wakes with strength that shatters marble, senses that reach for miles, and a thirst she will not name. The human life she was guarding slips away piece by piece, while the palace keeps producing secrets: her brother is hiding a mating of his own, the queen wants her gone, Leah, a scheming noble, believes Elvis was promised to her, and the basement of the palace holds something that whispers her name.

When Carl finally finds his way back to her, Alyssa dares to hope her old life is still waiting. But the boy who returned does not smile the way she remembers, and discovering who he really is will break her heart in an entirely new way.

Hauled before the vampire council, Alyssa must sign a petition that will decide whether she lives, dies, or is handed to someone else, and she learns that the prince she swore to hate has been quietly trading away everything, including his own happiness, to set her free.

Now the bond or the boy, the crown or her freedom, and one impossible choice: a girl who once traded revenge for a charm has to decide what her heart is worth.

Her Vampire Brother is a slow-burn vampire romance about stubborn hearts, family secrets, and a love that refuses to die quietly. Expect sharp banter, high tension, fated-mate heat that always fades to black, and a brother whose return was only the beginning.
