The Vampire Thief Saves the Widow

Maria, a widow who has buried two husbands, guards her daughter inside an abandoned missile silo.

When Christopher breaks in, her arrow flies toward his heart, and instinct makes him shoot.

The intruder is more than a thief: he is a vampire who has survived for years by taking from the post-Collapse ruins and refusing to risk his heart.

He saves her instead of leaving her to die, and she finds herself bound to a brooding man who never wanted a widow or her child.

The world beyond the silo is still dangerous, and so are the feelings neither of them wants.
