Dark vampire romance. Forced proximity. Enemies to lovers.
A feral monster who should let her go -- and refuses.

Gabby stopped caring about her life the day her best friend died.

After that, everything feels hollow.

Her parents are gone.
Her brother is barely holding things together.
And breathing feels more like habit than hope.

So when a terrified little girl needs saving, Gabby doesn't think.

She offers herself instead.

A life for a life.

She expects to die.

She doesn't expect to find safety in the arms of a monster.

Ian is ancient. Violent. Barely restrained.

A vampire with blood on his hands and something broken behind his eyes.

He calls her reckless. Stupid. Weak.

Then chains her to his side and insists it's for her own good.

He says the world is worse than he is.
Says something out there would destroy her.
Says keeping her close is the only way to keep her alive.

Even if that means teeth at her throat.
Even if it means she becomes his.

Gabby swears she'll escape.

But the longer she's trapped in his ruined church, the more the lines blur.

Between captor and protector.
Between monster and man.
Between wanting to live... and wanting him.

Because Ian isn't the only thing haunted by the past.

And sometimes the beast outside is easier to face than the one inside.

In a world of blood and grief, beauty doesn't tame the monster.

It calls to it.
