A vampire and a hunter. Bound by survival. Tempted by something more. Edith Dorset has spent a century keeping her clan alive, outsmarting hunters, and refusing to turn humans-until her adopted daughters bring one straight to her door. Darren Paxton didn't come to the Heartsong Clan's "recruitment game" to play. As a trained hunter, he's here to protect his brother and take down the enemy from the inside. But when a shared enemy forces Edith and Darren into a fragile alliance, old hatreds collide with a dangerous attraction. Every move could expose them.

Every secret could destroy them. In a city where one mistake means death, they must decide-trust each other, or watch everyone they love perish.
