Sienna Clarke thought she had left her past behind. But the familiar faces she once thought she'd lost start to resurface... including one she never expected to see again. Logan Huntzberger is everything she remembers and nothing like she expected. Older, sharper, and somehow just as impossible to read, he challenges the boundaries of their friendship in ways Sienna isn't sure she's ready for. As Sienna navigates college life with her friends Rory and Paris, old memories resurface, new challenges arise, and the line between friendship and something more becomes harder to ignore.

𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘖𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴 "𝘼𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧?" "𝘼𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧." Jackson Gilbert was raised to hunt monsters. As a member of the Gilbert family, he knows better than most that Mystic Falls is anything but an ordinary small town. Vampires, witches, werewolves-he's spent years learning how to track them, fight them, and kill them. So when he returns to Mystic Falls, he's prepared for whatever supernatural threat awaits him. What he isn't prepared for is Alessandra Vescari. She's beautiful, mysterious, centuries older than she looks-and hiding a dangerous secret. Alessandra is a Heretic, a vampire with the ability to practice magic, and exactly the kind of creature Jackson was raised to destroy. Their first meeting makes their roles clear: he's the hunter, she's the hunted. But the more Jackson learns about Alessandra, the harder it becomes to see her as the monster he's supposed to kill. What begins with suspicion and hostility slowly turns into reluctant alliances, dangerous attraction, and a relationship neither of them should want. Jackson's family would never accept a Heretic as anything more than a threat, while Alessandra knows better than to trust a Gilbert hunter with her heart. But Mystic Falls has a way of bringing unlikely people together. And when vampires, witches, Originals, hunters, and centuries-old secrets threaten to tear them apart, Jackson and Alessandra will have to decide how far they're willing to go for each other. Because sometimes, the person you're supposed to destroy becomes the one person you can't live without.
