One hundred years ago two significant things happened. The first world war ended and a woman became immortally bound to this earth. Immortal intervention. Elite action from an ancient order. The members of Paragon. This power sustained only by one thing... mortal blood. Now she watches over London. Blending into city life. But a chance encounter with a mortal woman will interrupt her covert existence among them. A detective and a lawyer. One a dark guardian and the other navigating carefully around an immortal she cannot begin to understand. A dark attraction that cannot be explained. A constant lust for the lifeblood in her veins. When London becomes too small to contain her secrets she must disappear. But the one thing an immortal never considered was leaving the world behind with a mortal firmly at her side. The rules were never so blurred.

"It always started small, gradually growing and increasing with every second that past. I could always feel it, the numbness that shifts slowly to a pain stacking feeling that shook my body to the bones. Sometimes it came in the form of chest pain; other times, it came in sweats, and if it increased to fast, it came in the form of every muscle in my body tensing up, leaving me completely paralyzed. That was when I got scared the most, knowing I was playing a game that could end in only two ways. In a strange turn of events, though, I always found myself chasing that feeling as if it helped rekindled the small emblem of fire burning within me. It kept me feeling alive and that was a chase I didn't want to give up." At the age of 18, Riley Kidd knew she was an adrenaline junkie, and becoming a stunt double allowed her to chase the high she seemed to always want to feel. Now after years, It was still a feeling like no other, or so she thought. That all changed when she found herself looking into identical blue eyes, that would lead her crossing path with a single mother named Hailey Hunter. If Riley could retell her story, from the beginning of meeting Hailey, she would say, "It all stemmed from meeting that wild child."
