When Katherine Pierce arrives in Mystic Falls in 1864, she expects the Salvatore brothers to be as easy to manipulate as every other man she’s encountered. Damon Salvatore falls for her immediately. Stefan Salvatore does not. At first, Katherine assumes it’s stubbornness. Then she assumes it’s innocence. What she doesn’t expect is to find another vampire already living beneath the roof of the Salvatore estate—and standing at Stefan’s side. Y/N has spent years hiding in plain sight, building a quiet life in Mystic Falls and guarding a secret that could destroy everything. The last thing she wants is the arrival of a beautiful, reckless vampire with a talent for turning lives upside down. But Katherine has never been good at walking away from something she can’t have. Especially when that something is Stefan Salvatore.
