Book 1 of the LRO SERIES. Beneath her sugar-sweet smile, Felicity Randone hides the bruises of a childhood shaped by fear and her father's cruelty. Desperate for something real-something hers-she falls into the orbit of Alvarus Carmine: foul-mouthed, dangerously seductive, and not quite human. An immortal, shapeshifting prince born of Castilian fire, he's everything she should run from... and everything she can't resist. At the Moulin Mug, a dim, offbeat coffeehouse where their worlds collide, attraction sparks into obsession. And obsession? It doesn't stay soft for long. In this dark, sensual thriller, desire doesn't just consume-it destroys. And when the truth finally surfaces, it demands blood. (updated reupload)
