Desperate times call for desperate measures, or so Natalie Chase tells herself when she signs up for a high-end escort service. One year. One man. One contract. The pay is too good to ask too many questions. Enter Adrian Voss: impossibly wealthy, devastatingly handsome, and colder than the marble floors of his secluded estate. The moment Natalie signs their marriage contract, she realizes she's stepped into something far more complicated than a transactional relationship. Adrian doesn't want a wife, not really. He keeps odd hours, avoids anything that feels personal, and keeps her at a distance. Still, there's something about him that draws her in. As days turn to weeks, Natalie begins unraveling the eerie truth. The lies. The locked doors. The undeniable pull she feels toward a man who's not entirely human. Her husband is a vampire. And she has no way out. Now, trapped in a marriage of secrets and danger, Natalie must navigate a world she never knew existed; a world of death, power, and dangerous desire. The longer she stays, the more entangled her heart becomes, and the harder it will be to survive.
