Ivy's life is simple and quiet, despite the mysterious silver blood flowing through her veins-a secret she knows nothing about. Growing up surrounded by rules, protection, and constant supervision, Ivy has always longed for something her wealth could never give her: freedom.
When a mysterious new bodyguard named Varyn arrives, Ivy sees an opportunity. With his cold eyes, silent steps, and unsettling presence, Varyn is impossible to ignore. When given the choice, Ivy willingly agrees to hire him as her personal bodyguard, believing that having someone capable of protecting her will finally allow her to experience the freedom she has always wanted.
But Varyn is hiding more than just a mysterious past.
As he follows Ivy through her new life, protecting her from dangers she doesn't even know exist, something about her begins to affect him in ways he never expected. He keeps his thoughts and feelings buried beneath his cold exterior, determined to remain focused on his duty.
Meanwhile, the only person who senses that something is wrong is Marcus, Ivy's ex-boyfriend and loyal family friend, now a detective determined to protect her from the shadows. He doesn't trust Varyn and refuses to ignore the strange secrets surrounding him-even if Ivy does.
Because Varyn isn't just a mysterious bodyguard.
He is a vampire.
And Ivy was the one who chose to let him into her life.
As secrets surrounding Ivy's silver blood slowly begin to surface, the line between protection and danger starts to blur. Marcus races to uncover the truth, while Varyn struggles to keep his darkest secrets hidden.
But how long can Ivy remain unaware of the danger standing beside her?
And what happens when the vampire sworn to protect her becomes the one person who can no longer stay away?
