Montblanc had it good. There was no mess, no drama, just clean schedules and closed deals. Then she happened. His assistant, the woman who organized his life to the minute, completely derailed his sanity. One second, she handed him a stapler; the next, he wondered how her lipstick would look smeared on his neck. She gave him headaches and hard-ons in the same breath, and he was starting to confuse the two. Worse? He wasn't clueless. He knew exactly what it meant, what that tight pull in his chest was every time she smiled like she didn't know what she was doing to him. Desire like this had a cost. And he wasn't sure he could afford it. So now he was stuck with the decision that made grown men sweat: keep her at arm's length and lose the only person who's ever kept his life together-or give in to the need clawing at his gut and risk it all. His reputation. His peace of mind. Hell, maybe even his soul. Because this wasn't just a crush, it was a slow-burn disaster waiting to happen. And Montblanc? He'd never wanted anything more.

Marcus Aurelius Saavedra was once the kind of man who believed in permanence. He gave himself entirely, recklessly, to one woman-heart, body, soul-never imagining she would leave, much less end up in his brother Gaius's arms. The betrayal gutted him in a way nothing else ever had, and in the years that followed, he built walls no one could climb, not even himself. And then Cruella Cervantes walked in, all sharp edges and unapologetic fire, and looked at him like she wasn't afraid of the wreckage. She didn't want to fix him. She didn't want anything until he offered her the one thing he thought he could still control: his body. No love. No complications. No expectations. But the lines blur faster than he anticipates, and what started as a carefully constructed arrangement spirals into something far more dangerous. Her touch becomes an addiction. And her presence, a reminder that numbness doesn't mean healing.

"You know, in Shanghai, no one gets rejected just for being a little different. This city welcomes everyone." "Even someone who... is allergic to garlic?" "Oh, definitly~" 🧛‍♀️❤️‍🔥🍲 Vivienne Duvall the Vampire always thought the hardest part of life was fleeing her family, leaving behind bloody banquets, and seeking refuge in the East was merely a matter of changing her diet. But when she sets foot in China, she realizes the real challenge has only just begun: garlic lurking everywhere, blood-based delicacies served in every possible way, and the relentless aroma of onions and spices wafting from kitchens, turning her once-glamorous nocturnal existence into a comedic struggle for survival. Torn between family ties and newfound freedom, clashing with local friends, and caught between her heritage and foreign flavors, Vivi navigates the neon-lit urban jungle while documenting her misadventures in "A Vampire's Survival Guide to China" on her vlog. She craves independence, but in the clash of blood and spice, she might just discover who she truly is. A bittersweet, boldly flavored tale of fantasy and self-discovery, a runaway vampire's coming-of-age journey, a hilarious collision of East-meets-West culture (and cuisine), and a story about belonging, identity, and the true meaning of home.

And along with it, so did the little girl Lucian had adopted from that crime scene ten years ago: Reya. *This book includes graphic depictions of violence but not limited to: sexual, verbal, emotional and physical abuse.
