Étude

Even a Siren can sing a love song.

He has loved her for centuries. She has forgotten him every time.

Cover of Étude by Zaide Williams

Loving her means losing her

Over and over again.

For centuries, Everest Hendry has lived with that one impossible truth.

Elma Carlo has never heard his name. But when her carefully ordered world begins to fracture, ancient languages suddenly make sense, dreams feel like memories, and her heart starts remembering love songs her mind cannot recall.

Then Everest steps into her life.

He is a vampire.

And someone is hunting the one woman he has spent centuries trying—and failing—to stop loving.

From Alaska to Savannah to the hidden magical heart of Vienna, Étude is an open-door, slow-burn vampire romance with an HEA, and the first book in the Muse series.
