Cassie never imagined that a shortcut through a dark alley would change her life forever. One moment, she's just trying to make it home after work—the next, she's attacked by a rogue vampire and wakes up in a stranger's luxurious apartment. Her savior, Tristan, is a brooding, dangerously handsome vampire who claims that Cassie is now bound to him through an unbreakable blood link.

As Cassie struggles to understand this new, dark world of vampire politics and shifting alliances, her connection to Tristan deepens. Though they can't deny the intense chemistry pulling them together, both are haunted by secrets—especially Tristan, whose violent past is intertwined with that of his rogue brother, Lucian.

When Lucian resurfaces, hell-bent on claiming Cassie and destroying everything Tristan holds dear, the fragile bond between protector and prey is put to the ultimate test. Cassie refuses to be a pawn in a deadly family feud, determined to stand by Tristan's side and fight for their chance at happiness.

But as the rogue's plans grow more vicious and deadly, Cassie must confront her own fears and newfound powers. Can their bond survive the darkness threatening to tear them apart? Or will love be their greatest weakness?

In a world where blood and desire intertwine, will Cassie and Tristan's connection be their salvation—or their undoing?
