Inhaltsangabe

Vivienne Sorel has run Vampire Capital for decades under a simple rule: control the room, control the appetite, control the century. Then a biotech company's synthetic blood breakthrough threatens to expose her entire world to a species that has survived thousands of years by staying invisible - and the Council gives her ninety days to make the threat disappear.

The fastest way in is Declan Morrow, the hedge fund manager holding the position she needs unwound. He is disciplined, unreadable, and - inconveniently - the first man in decades to make her forget to count his pulse.

As the deadline collapses toward zero and an old, patient enemy decides diplomacy has expired, Vivienne has to choose between the discipline that has kept her alive for centuries and the one man who might be worth breaking it for.

The Long Hold is a vampire romantic thriller about power, appetite, and what happens when a three-hundred-year-old woman finally meets a problem she can't outlast.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Edward C. Distel writes fiction shaped by memory, exile, war, and the quiet lives history often forgets. Raised in a multilingual household and deeply influenced by the immigrant experience, his work explores loyalty, identity, survival, and the stories people carry in silence.

Drawn to both novels and short fiction, Distel believes the most powerful stories are often the most intimate. His writing blends literary realism with psychological depth, creating characters marked as much by what they cannot say as by what they do.

He prefers to let his characters speak for themselves.

These are his first published works, though far from his only stories.
