Seductive and lethal vampire Léopold Devereoux returns to New Orleans on the trail of a killer. His search leads him to a brilliant antiques dealer whose courage challenges his resolve and awakens emotions he buried centuries ago. After a lifetime of self-imposed solitude, Léopold struggles to maintain control as danger closes in on the woman who has captured his attention.
Laryssa Theriot has spent years guarding her secrets, knowing that trusting the wrong person could cost her everything. When a commanding stranger asks for her help, she senses both the danger and the growing attraction between them. As threats from her past resurface, Laryssa must decide whether to risk her life by accepting the protection of a vampire who awakens powers she never knew she possessed.
Bound by a deadly mystery and an ancient relic that could determine the fate of the world, Léopold and Laryssa are forced into a race against time. With an ancient force closing in, Léopold must choose between the isolation he's relied on for centuries and the connection that could finally claim his heart.
Léopold's Wicked Embrace is the fifth book in the Immortals of New Orleans series. Each novel can be read as a standalone romance, though the series is best enjoyed in order.
