He needs my weight to stay physical. I need his mercy to stay alive. In the silt-choked Sinks of the Ock-Rye Flats, I was the best Diver they had—a girl of lead and grit in a world of dust. Then came Kordas Vray. A Sovereign of the High Shelves. A ghost in black chrome who is Fading into nothingness. He didn't come to save my people. He came to steal my soul. With one brutal bite, he Grafted us together. Now, his heart beats in my chest, and my gravity keeps him from vanishing into the void. I am his anchor. He is my captor. And as the Gold-Dust Fever takes hold, the line between hatred and hunger begins to shatter. But Kordas isn't the only predator in the sky. To survive the civil war tearing Xylo-Varris apart, I must embrace the Mark he bit into me—even if the final stage of the Graft means losing my freedom forever. The Mark He Bit Into Me is a full-length standalone dark sci-fi romance. It features a possessive alpha hero, a defiant heroine, and a forced proximity "tether" trope that will leave you breathless. No cheating. No cliffhangers. HEA guaranteed.
