Léopold’s Wicked Embrace (Immortals of New Orleans, Book 5). Immortals of New Orleans, #5

An ancient vampire. A woman with dangerous secrets. A love that defies centuries of isolation. Ancient vampire Léopold Devereoux has survived by discipline and distance. When a brutal killer begins leaving a trail that echoes a threat he thought long buried, Léopold is forced to act. His search leads him to a brilliant antiques dealer whose courage challenges his resolve and awakens emotions he has spent centuries keeping under control.
Laryssa Theriot has spent years guarding her secrets, knowing that trusting the wrong person could cost her everything. When a commanding stranger asks for her help, she senses both the danger and the growing attraction between them. As threats from her past resurface, Laryssa must decide whether the risk of trusting Léopold is worth the price. Bound by a deadly mystery and an ancient relic tied to forces neither can ignore, Léopold and Laryssa are drawn into a race against time.
As danger closes in, Léopold must choose between the isolation that has kept him alive for centuries and love for a woman who could change everything. Léopold's Wicked Embrace is the fifth novel in the Immortals of New Orleans series.
