His mission. Her redemption. Their dangerous craving.

Delia Guidry hasn’t seen the sun in eighteen years—mostly because she’s a vampire, but also because she was a captive of Mars Mathis’s Mystical Menagerie. But after years of being forced to act as an unwilling assassin, she’s finally free, which presents a new type of problem—what to do with that freedom.

Enter Nathan James, the FABLE agent who helped liberate her. He thinks Delia, with her powers and sharp wit, might be just the vampire to help him take down a trafficking ring he’s been tracking for years. Meanwhile, Delia is determined to bring down the dark forces that haunt her memories. As they hunt shadows, their fragile trust ignites into a bond unlike any other—one fraught with secrets, sacrifice, and a desire that threatens to consume them both.

But with new threats emerging and Mathis’s sinister influence resurfacing, Delia finds herself fighting not only for the black market victims, but also for a future with the man she can’t help but long to sink her teeth into—even knowing full well their living and undead worlds were never meant to collide.
