In a brooding European city where shadows move like living things, Adrian Ward never expected to become the keeper of an ancient vampire seal-or the obsession of the immortal sworn to protect him.

After a chance encounter in a wintry alley, Adrian's life is entwined with Lucien Noctara, the last surviving heir of a fallen vampire house. Bound by a power neither fully understands, the two are drawn into a forbidden connection that defies the vampire Court's ancient laws.

As the Beneath stirs and a breach threatens the mortal world, enemies rise from the dark, determined to claim Adrian's blood-and destroy Lucien for loving him.

But surrendering to the bond between them may be the only way to survive.

A tale of gothic danger, tender intimacy, and a love powerful enough to challenge destiny-The Art of Surrender is a slow-burn, male/male paranormal romance filled with emotion, passion, and the courage to defy fate.
