Mira was dripping wet from head to toe and had soaked his clothes, but he didn't care. The two of them gazed at each other for a moment, and it took everything in him not to rip the towel off of her and kiss every inch of her body. He wanted to worship her. He wanted to make her feel like a Queen, but she hadn't said the words. She had to say the words. He had promised her and himself that he wouldn't touch her until then. His hand began to slip from her face, and he had every intention of standing up and walking away to let her get dressed. But Mira's grip over his hand tightened, holding it in place, and her eyes lingered on his lips. "Tell me," he whispered, the need in his voice undeniable. Mira was terrified and electrified at the same time. She didn't want to give into him. She didn't want to lose herself in him. But it was no use. She couldn't deny it any longer.

When the vampires emerged, humanity learned how fragile it truly was. Taken from her village, Lenora expects her life to end in darkness. Instead, she is brought to the court of High Lord River, where her fate shifts in a way she never imagined. Lenora bears no scent. To vampire senses, she is unseen. What should condemn her becomes the reason she survives. Rather than destroying her, River keeps her close, drawn to what she represents and to what she awakens in him. As Lenora learns to move through the court, her invisibility becomes both shield and burden, and the line between protection and possession begins to blur. In quiet moments between lessons and watchful silences, something unexpected grows. Trust. Tension. A connection neither of them is willing to name. But in a world shaped by ancient power and unspoken bargains, affection is dangerous, and safety always comes with conditions. Freedom may be possible. Love a cruel joke. And the girl who should have vanished into the dark may instead change the fate of them both.

Being overtaken by vampires and turned into slaves was life-changing, but for Ellanore, being sold to Raphael Petrovic was definitely life-changing. She's use to moving from home to home, but moving into a house with two brothers who both seem to take interest in her was the highest point on the scale of weird. Did I forget to mention that they're vampires, excluding Ellanore. . . Well they are and being stuck between two strong, determined vampires is not how Ellanore expected her stay at the Petrovic's to be, and she definitely didn't expect to fall for one. Having her mind over powered with the thought of leaving and staying Ellanore tries to figure out what she wants without causing any problems. But if you throw in some drama, lies, and delusional girls then someone's bound to get hurt in the end.
