Blurb: 

Rowan Marlowe hated three things: his birth name, his father, and feeding on live blood—which was ironic for a vampire. Julien Rosenthal loved three things: sex, blood, and his bodyguard, Rowan Marlowe. 

Haunted and running from his past, Rowan thought he had found the perfect job as the bodyguard to the tenth vampire prince of the powerful Rosenthal Clan, Julien. Except, the unruly prince's insatiable sex-crazed and bloodlust feedings turned into a live show every night for the last twenty-five years. A point of contention between the two, but the protection of living under the Rosenthal name is too good to pass up—no matter how much Julien's antics get on his nerves. 

But when it's revealed a spy lingers amongst the Rosenthal Clan, threatening to burn the entire Rosenthal Clan to the ground, they'll both learn that they have more in common after all, and their need for each other is stronger than any blood ties they've thought they ever known.

For Reference:

Bloodsworn - To be Bloodsworn between vampires is equivalent to a lifetime partnership. This partnership is eternal and cannot be broken easily. Bloodsworn vampires must feed from their partners, though they may feed from others.
