The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between...

Feeling overflow at some point.

In a forgotten manor where beauty never fades, a photographer and her muse accept a Halloween project that should have been simple. But some gowns remember the ones who wore them - and some promises refuse to die. A story of devotion, decay, and the kind of love that leaves its mark.

Sonya was never meant to know vampires existed, until one of them chose her. Not as prey, but as the reason to break their law. Bound to protect a human from her own kind, the vampire must stay one step ahead of those who want the girl dead or turned. No one is allowed to reach her first. No one is allowed to touch what she guards. Sonya never agreed to any of this. She wants her life back, not a watcher in the dark and rules she never wrote. But every time she tries to push the vampire away, the hunters get closer... and the price of defiance grows sharper. She doesn't have to love her protector. She only has to stay alive.

There is never a time or place for true love...
