Betrayed by the love of her life, Victoria, Queen, First Vampire, has finally decided to take on concubines of her own. When Auction Day comes, the one day a year when humans are harvested for her people, she sends her son to find men to satisfy her. Little did she know how the fates would intervene. Concubine, Alessandro, is everything she could want in a mate - kind, attentive and in the bedroom, sparks fly. The one thing that stands between them is his status - he's human. Her heart is telling her to give him The Kiss; the sacred sign that she finds him a potential soulmate. However, her memories are hunted of the last time she gave a man that much love. If Victoria is to hold onto the love she so desperately desires, she must outwit the man who once knew her better than all others, The King… for the games he plays are deadly, and he plays for keeps.
