Bloodlines & Bourbon. The Devil's Gentlemen, #49

For centuries, the Blackwood name has been cursed. Branded as traitors, monsters, and murderers, the Blackwood bloodline has carried the shame of a massacre they never committed. Ursus Blackwood has spent his immortal life believing that darkness runs through his veins and that his family's legacy can only be one of destruction. But when he crosses paths with Leonardo Vesper, a mysterious collector of enchanted bourbon and heir to a rival Devil's Gentleman family, the truth begins to surface.
Leonardo possesses an ancient power: through magical bourbon infused with blood enchantments, he can reveal memories hidden for generations. Together, they uncover a forgotten history proving that the Blackwoods were never conquerors-they were guardians. Their downfall was not caused by betrayal, but by a sinister force that manipulated supernatural families through hatred and fear. As Ursus and Leonardo search for the truth, they discover secrets that could destroy both their bloodlines.
Leonardo carries a devastating confession: he witnessed the original betrayal centuries ago and failed to stop it. Ursus must decide whether to embrace vengeance or choose forgiveness. When an ancient entity that feeds on hatred returns to finish what it started, the Blackwood and Vesper heirs must unite their opposing magic to break a centuries-old curse. Shadow and blood. Infernal power and memory enchantments.
Two enemies who discover they were always meant to stand together. In a world of dark magic, immortal families, and forbidden desire, Ursus and Leonardo must decide whether they will be controlled by the sins of their ancestors-or create a legacy of their own.
