Cassian Vale has spent his entire life hunting vampires. Then he finds you. You're the vampire he's been tracking for three nights, sitting alone at a bar like you don't have a care in the world. You know exactly what Cassian is the moment he walks through the door. You smell the silver. You see the concealed weapons. You should run. Instead, you buy him a drink. Cassian has every reason to kill you—and plenty of opportunities—but every encounter ends with you still breathing and him finding another excuse to let you live. When something far more dangerous begins hunting vampires across the city, you're forced into an uneasy alliance. A vampire who doesn't trust hunters. A hunter who was raised to hate vampires. Threats become banter. Banter becomes attraction. Attraction becomes something neither of you is willing to admit. He's supposed to put a stake through your heart. The problem is, Cassian might want it for himself.
