Five months pregnant, Clara discovers at a family dinner that her vampire husband, Count Lucian Vane, has betrayed her—and plans to place his mistress’s child ahead of their own in the family line. Clara leaves the estate, ends their blood bond, and revokes his invitation to enter her home. Lucian thinks she is only angry—until he realizes he truly cannot cross her door. As Clara rebuilds her life, she meets Rowan Blackwood, a vampire count who actually respects her choices. But when Lucian refuses to let go, Clara must fight to reclaim her freedom, her future, and the right to decide who belongs in her life.
