He is her mortal fascination. She is his eternal complication.
Kiara Savage has spent centuries perfecting the art of distance. As a vampire, solitude is survival—and humans are nothing more than sustenance. But when an old acquaintance meddles with magic, Kiara becomes the unwitting victim of a love spell… one that leaves her irresistibly drawn to Oliver Bergara, a brilliant, quietly wounded human whose very presence stirs something deeper than bloodlust.
Oliver has locked his heart away, burned once by love and determined never to be fooled again. His world is code, coffee, and a few trusted friends—until Kiara disrupts everything. She’s cold as moonlight, strange as myth, and impossible to ignore.
As their connection intensifies, Kiara is forced to confront a part of herself she buried long ago—a part that yearns, aches, loves. But the deeper she falls, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because in her world, love is a liability… and Oliver may be her greatest weakness.
Ancient rivalries stir, secrets bleed into the light, and a single wrong move could cost them both everything.

A Note from the Author Writing In My Veins was an act of devotion — to myth, to love that refuses to die, and to the shadows that make us human. Kiara and Oliver’s story began as a whisper about fate and choice, and grew into the first heartbeat of a much larger world I can’t wait to share with you. If you found a piece of yourself in these pages — in the ache, the resilience, or the magic — then the story has done what it was meant to do.
In My Veins has intriguing characters that warm your heart. I was engaged and can't wait for book two to arrive. It's a great read with a fun plot line.
In my veins, a very suiting title for this story, is about a lady vampire Kiara and a human Oliver, their struggle to survive and protect the love they share, in a world full of danger.
The story is very interesting and I just kept reading. It was very easy to stay in the story, the characters and world building are unique and intriguing. As were the events passing, up until the end. :)
The writer captured the feelings and it made the characters so vivid. That’s a great quality. ☺️
A strong vampire romantasy!.
