They might claim they’re not vampires, but they certainly act like vampires, and Viyana Sephri has no idea what the deadly impact of a romance with the charming Cory Griffin will be. Her ignorance won’t protect her, and neither will his secrets.

When Viyana Sephri pulls off a complicated party for her company, she didn’t expect to get a promotion that has her running part of a partnership. She also didn’t expect the other company to pair her with Cory Griffin, with his distracting leading-man looks. It doesn’t help that he’s surprisingly kind, and is surprisingly interested in her.

Which is a problem, since Viyana has sworn off romance.

Cory didn’t think he could fall in love again. It’s been over a century since he felt something like this. But his clan has done terrible things, to humans and to him, and he needs to protect Viyana from them… if the dynamics between him and his colleagues didn’t make that almost impossible.

Between Cory’s interest and navigating the tense – and strange – dynamics of the two companies, Viyana finds herself uncovering more and more disturbing aspects of her colleagues. Including Cory.

Once Viyana knows who she’s working with, she needs to figure out how to survive the clans she is trapped between. How will she escape – and will she be alive or undead?
