​Chanel is a fierce Nurse Trainee at a historic, Gothic hospital in the heart of New York City, determined to trade her scrubs for a surgeon's scalpel. She's seen it all-until she witnesses the impossible. Dr. Julian Thorne, the brilliant, green-eyed neuro- and cardiovascular surgeon everyone calls "Dr. McDreamy," moves with a speed that defies human limits, saving a life in a split second that leaves a flash of silver and gold in his eyes. Chanel becomes obsessed. As she works the dangerous night shift alongside him-the only shift Dr. Thorne is ever on due to his mysterious weakness to sunlight-she begins a private investigation. She knows his real name, Julian Thorne, but the truth is far darker. Julian is a Hybrid, half-Vampire and half-Werewolf, fighting a losing battle against his own nature: his vampire bloodlust intensifies with every high-stakes surgery, and the approaching Full Moon threatens to turn him into the very indiscriminate killer he operates to save lives from. Worse still, a shadowy supernatural faction in the city knows what Julian is and is targeting his patients to force him into the light. Now, every late-night consult, every piece of evidence Chanel uncovers brings her closer to the man she is falling for, and deeper into the deadly supernatural war that could expose his secret, cost him his life, and end her own before she can achieve her dream.
