To escape a ruthless gang lord, Whitechapel master forger Lucy Evans assumes a false identity and works as a nanny at the secluded Ashborne Estate. The moment she meets its reclusive owner, 320-year-old vampire Cain Ashborne, he abruptly proposes marriage. Lucy accepts, seeing it as the perfect hiding place.
But the manor hides strict, dangerous rules: no nighttime wandering, no entry to the east wing, and absolutely no opening the cellar door. What starts as mutual deceit soon turns into obsessive fixation. Lucy realizes Cain is not her only threat, and her unique bloodline holds the fatal weakness of all vampires.
A dark, twisty sensual romance where hunter and prey fall for each other, tangled in clashing lies and loyalty—where the most unexpected love story begins.
