The Blood Debt

By: Alison Reid

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Enemies. Lovers. Redeemed by fire.
The debt is blood—and it’s far from paid.

Two years ago, Alec Cole’s world shattered when his brother, Ryan, died in what authorities ruled a tragic car accident. Alec knows better. Ryan was murdered—his death buried beneath money, power, and the iron grip of the Grant empire.

When Catherine Grant’s friend asks Alec’s elite security firm to protect her, he takes the assignment for one reason only: vengeance. Every trail he’s followed leads back to her. To Alec, Catherine is the untouchable heiress who chose her family’s empire over the brother he loved. And now, she’s finally within reach.

But Catherine Grant is not the woman Alec expects.

She loved Ryan—fiercely, secretly—and the silence she’s lived with ever since was the price of surviving her father’s ruthless control. Now free, fiercely independent, and determined to reclaim her life, Catherine refuses to be defined by the past… or by the dangerous, infuriating man sworn to protect her.

Alec’s mission is simple: uncover the truth, expose the lies, and make her pay.

But the closer he gets, the more his certainty unravels. Catherine doesn’t wield her wealth or her beauty as weapons. Beneath her composure lies quiet strength, buried grief, and a woman who has already paid in blood. Hatred blurs into desire. Justice into obsession. Until the fire between them threatens to destroy everything Alec thought he wanted.

When long-buried secrets surface and the real killer steps out of the shadows, Alec and Catherine are forced to confront a truth neither can escape—and a bond forged in loss, danger, and undeniable passion.

Because some debts can only be paid in blood…
And some loves are worth burning for.

Written in dual POV and in the spirit of classic Mills & Boon, The Blood Debt is a dark, emotionally charged standalone romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forbidden desire, a fiercely protective alpha hero, forced proximity, revenge turned to redemption, heart-stopping romantic suspense—and a deeply satisfying, guaranteed happily ever after.
