With Cambria pursuing her career and Mia working two jobs as well as interning, to support the life they are building together, adulthood brings new pressures neither of them could fully prepare for. Between demanding schedules, bills, responsibilities, and finding time for each other, their future suddenly feels much more complicated than it once did. Still, Mia and Cambria have never stopped choosing each other. Through exhaustion, difficult decisions, laughter, intimacy, and the quiet moments they manage to steal together, they learn how to grow without growing apart.

Loving a human woman with anxiety is hard. It's even harder when you're a brooding, gothic, antisocial vampyr with an insatiable hunger for her blood, among other things... Meet Lucien Sabatini, a 200-year-old vampyr elite who doesn't adhere to the accepted stereotypes of being a creature of the night. He's walled himself off from others for hundreds of years to avoid emotions, and he's been an unfeeling mess ever since. But when his interest is piqued by a beautiful woman in a newspaper photo, he finds himself driven to hunt her down and orchestrate her presence in his Italian villa for a week. He must bring himself to keep from devouring her when the Thirst takes over him, but when her time in Italy is up, will he be able to let her go? And when his sordid past catches up with him, will it cost Lucien more than he's willing to give up?
