Alone and desperate to protect her unborn child, she never expects the man from that night to return. But Sebastien never forgot her—and once he realizes she’s carrying his baby, the ruthless mafia boss will do anything to keep her safe. Even if it means pulling her into his dangerous world forever.
For over a thousand years, the Blackwell family has ruled vampire society from the shadows. Feared by immortals and worshipped by humans who don’t know they exist, the Blackwells are untouchable—especially Anastasia Blackwell, the most powerful vampire alive. Cold, elegant, and ruthless, Anastasia can kill in seconds when provoked. Beside her stand her overprotective brothers, Nikolai and Alaric, who would burn entire kingdoms to protect her. Then there’s Xavier Montclair. Charming, dangerous, and impossibly arrogant, Xavier has been close to the Blackwell family for centuries. He and Anastasia can barely stand each other, their relationship built on sharp words, jealousy, tension, and lingering stares neither of them understands. But when ancient enemies begin threatening the vampire world, the two are forced into an uneasy alliance that slowly turns into something far more dangerous. Because hatred between immortals rarely stays hatred forever.
