Ancient by Rain Carrington

In the first book of the series, we meet Adam, sacrificing college to stay in his childhood home for one reason. His sister. Anna is his world, and her safety and happiness is more important to him than his own future. His abusive father makes it hard, but his beloved sister is worth it. Soon, however, with their father out of the picture, he sees that life is no easier and taking care of Anna means doing things that terrify and disgusts him.

The ancient vampire, Neku, doesn’t know exactly how old he is, but he estimates it around five thousand years. In the beginning of it, he felt the sorrow of betrayal, so he never chanced love again in all that time, at least not romantic love. He has a family, a small nest of vampires he’s made and thinks that love was enough for him. Though, for the longest time, he thinks his nest won’t grow unless the younger vampires in the nest make more. It seems that Neku could no longer turn humans to vampires, as his blood is so strong, it boils a human’s brain.

When they meet, Neku is shocked by the color of Adam’s eyes. Is it a sign of the only real threat to ancient vampires? Can Adam and Neku come together in the relationship they both need, or will Adam’s hidden powers tear them apart?
