Missing Piece by Gale Ian Tate

When addiction recovery meets immortal obsession, some hungers can’t be cured—they can only be claimed.

Adam Nolan is thirty days sober and barely hanging on when a chance encounter behind a seedy strip club changes everything. Drugged, kidnapped, and chained in a remote farmhouse, he becomes the latest “trial” for Vincent Bellenger—a century-old vampire with a reputation for breaking humans who dare to defy him.
But Vincent didn’t expect Adam’s fierce resistance or the way those defiant green eyes would shatter every wall he’d built around his dead heart. What begins as a twisted game of predator and prey evolves into something far more dangerous: genuine desire.
As Adam fights to survive Vincent’s dark appetites, he discovers something terrifying—he’s falling for the monster who stole his freedom. When a vengeful vampire cult threatens their twisted sanctuary, both men must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for a love that should never exist.
With enemies closing in and Adam’s hard-won sobriety hanging by a thread, Vincent faces an impossible choice: remain the ruthless predator he’s always been, or become something new for the human who taught his dead heart to beat again.

Some addictions destroy you. Others save you. This one might do both.
