The Story
Synopsis
Jade
All Jade wants to do is protect her little brother. Gaining custody of him has been her sole focus since she reached adulthood, and she is doing everything in her power to see her plan through. But when the stalker who's been writing her letters for nearly a decade starts sending people after her, Jade is forced to make a decision: navigate the abduction attempts on her own or trust the mysterious Alakath, a vampire who has forced his way into her life, claiming to be the protector she needs. Can she afford to put her faith in this monster masquerading as a man?
Alakath
For two centuries, Alakath has dreamed of nothing but revenge against Alaric, the wolf who tore his family apart. But when he finally has an opportunity to pay him back in kind, he must decide if his revenge is worth using the pretty woman Alaric has set his sights on as a sacrifice. She was supposed to be a job, a means to an end. He never considered she could become so much...more. Now, he must choose between completing his mission-defending his remaining family and exacting the vengeance owed to him-and protecting the human woman who has become his enemy's latest obsession...and his own.

Reader Love
Praises
“A fresh and engaging take on the classic monster. E.G. Moncrief’s vampires are the perfect blend of sensual Byronic charm and dangerous gothic grit. With vivid prose and a story that pulls you in, it’s a must-read that will have you desperate for 'just one more chapter.'”
“Goddamn I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed Tainted Obsession by EG Moncrief! I need something higher than a 5 star scale...Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. I cannot recommend this book enough!”
“If you’re looking for a solid vampire romance this is it! Jade and Alakath come together as she looks for protection and Alakath just can’t resist her. This one was spicy! and I liked that Jade could hold her own under the dangerous circumstances she found herself in. It also leaves you wanting much more...”
