Olivier never shifted, and rather than staying in a place where she would never see freedom, she ran away to live in the human world. During her time away from the supernatural world and it's' politics, a new threat emerged that disrupted her peaceful human life and she found herself caught in the crosshairs. To top it all off, the person responsible for getting her involved in the whole mess is the stoic alpha of a neighboring pack that seems reluctant to let her return to her peaceful human life from before. I'm so bad at writing summaries, it's good I promise ;-; please :,) _______ Growing up reading Wattpad stories as a girl, I really wanted to see a realistic female lead who is emotionally strong and doesn't denounce feminine qualities or things to prove or symbolize strength. I wanted to see various female characters who felt real, instead of 'love interest #2' or 'petty bully #1' so all of my female characters contain depth and possess intricate backstories. In a way this story is my love letter to all women, because your strength and character inspires me <3 This is a romance, fantasy, adventure story in that order. I tried to make the characters as real and organic as possible. This means that there is no immediate romantic connection because both parties need to build mutual trust before jumping into a relationship irl (there will be saucy scenes once romance is in full swing tho don't worry). UNDER RECONSTRUCTION: only read the chapters with (edited) at the end of the title, I am taking the story in a slightly different direction, so any chapters after the (edited) ones are from the old story and likely will not align with the current plot. THANKS FOR READING!!

What she finds is a media empire owned by Baron Kandesky and his family. A family of vampires. They’re European, urbane, wealthy and mesmerizing. And when she meets Jean-Louis, vampire and co-worker, she’s a goner. The Kandesky vampire family rose in Hungary centuries ago. They gave up violence and killing to make a killing on the world’s commodities markets and with that beginning they built SNAP, an international celebrity multimedia empire. Now cultured…and having found food substitutes for killing…they’ve cornered the world market for celebrity and gossip journalism. They haven’t fully left the past behind. Their Hungarian neighbors and rival vampire clan, the Huszars are starting to ramp up attacks, maybe looking to start a war to take over all the Kandeskys have built. Maxie believes she’s found her ultimate career. She doesn’t realize that she’s found a family feud like none other, a centuries-old rivalry between vampire families, with her as the linchpin. Bells ring with Jean-Louis, but she doesn’t realize they’re alarm sirens until she learns that Jean-Louis is second in command of the Kandeskys…but by then it’s too late.

Captain Cole Stanley was a man bound to the sea and lands beyond the stifling industry of London. There was no space in his busy lifestyle for a woman, especially not a prim little miss like Oriana Brightmore. Yet despite her shyness, there appeared to be an underlying wit and spirit to her personality that Cole begins to find irresistible. Oriana always thought that her future-husband should be charming and even-tempered; none of which belonged to Captain Stanley- the odious guest residing with the Ashcroft's for a short spell. Although the obnoxious man vexed her beyond reason, he also may just be her only solution to finding a man who will want her- one that was currently on his way to the Americas.
