Opera Macabre — Michelle Rodriguez

Count Aiden de Lazarus has grown apathetic to the world around him and the monotony of immortal life. Determined to resurrect his reputation as a vampire worth fearing, he chooses a random mortal girl and bites her with the intent to kill her. Instead, her intoxicating taste and enchanting beauty stirs feelings he has long buried. Scared by such a mortal reaction, he gives her to another vampire, his once friend Alexi, as payment for a debt, and leaves under the belief that she will be Alexi's next victim. After eight long years, Bianca is living a cursed life: singing on stage in Alexi's profitable opera and enduring the bites of the undead as part of his undercover auction when the stage lights dim. Doomed to become Alexi's vampire bride, her future is bleak. When Aiden learns the girl who has haunted his every thought for eight years is still alive and Alexi's prized possession, he is horrified. Now he must find a way to free her from the life he unwittingly condemned her to and prove that he, unlike the vampires she has known, can be a man worth loving.
