Jamaica is a young slave girl who finds herself caught in a bargain between the vampire King and his son. Her job is to melt the the Prince's heart of stone while the Prince's job is to learn how to exercise kindness towards those who considers inferior, a.k.a - Jamaica. This seems easy enough since they're both working for a common goal; the Prince needs to prove himself in order to become King while Jamaica just needs to make it out alive. Problems start to arise when they start to feel things for each other in their moments of weakness. Can two broken souls handle love when it comes knocking on their door? Or will it release demons and destroy them both? *Not cliché... Half of it at least. I honestly can't describe this story properly, I've been trying. So please just try read it and then hopefully you won't regret it in the end ?.* BTW, this book has absolutely nothing to do with the country Jamaica... Its just a place on my bucket list and it has a nice ring to it... Updates are slow at the moment...
