Sanctuary of Night: A Sapphic Vampire Romance (A House of Nightfall Novel Book 1)

Zoe Riley spent her career uncovering the hidden machinery of the elite, but one discovery turns her from a researcher into a hunted woman. When a cryptic file reveals a conspiracy of pre-emptive violence, Zoe finds herself on the run from shadowy architects of power. Her desperate flight ends at the gates of Nightfall, an imposing sanctuary ruled by vampires who maintain a precarious, blood-bound order. In this fortress of secrets, mercy is a foreign language. Enter Isabela Cruz, a lethal sentinel bound by duty and discipline. Tasked with Zoe’s protection, Isabela views the mortal woman as a dangerous liability—a vulnerability she can ill afford. Yet, as the walls of Nightfall close in and assassins circle the perimeter, their professional distance begins to dissolve into a forbidden, high-stakes attraction. In the eyes of La Oscura, the ancient power watching from the dark, love is a strategic flaw that could shatter their fragile peace. Caught between a world that wants her dead and a guardian whose touch is a siren song, Zoe must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for safety. Sanctuary of Night is a pulse-pounding, slow-burn romance where desire has teeth and survival comes with an agonizing price.
