When city girl Tessa Monroe answers a mysterious ad for a live-in assistant, she expects weird. She doesn't expect sharing a Brooklyn brownstone with a brooding, secretive boss who enforces strange house rules—and definitely doesn't expect to stumble into a world where legends breathe and the night hides more than shadows.

Grayson Wolfe has built walls to keep everyone out. Hiding from a past soaked in betrayal and loss, he never planned for someone like Tessa to crash into his life with her sunshine smiles and stubborn loyalty. As danger closes in, exposing secrets he can no longer protect, the bond between them sparks into something undeniable.

Tessa must decide if she's willing to risk everything for the man—and the beast—who guards his heart like a fortress. Grayson must decide if he can trust fate one more time... or lose the one person he never dared to hope for.

In a battle between destiny and survival, can love be the one thing strong enough to rewrite their story?
