At 3:00 AM, the newsroom belongs to the predators.
Investigative producer Elena Vance lives on cold coffee, adrenaline, and an obsession with the stories others are too afraid to touch. Her current fixation: a string of bloodless deaths among Manhattan's tech elite that the government is aggressively burying.
When the network appoints Julian Vance as the new Chief Legal Counsel, Elena expects a corporate suit sent to kill her story. Instead, she gets an enigma. Devastatingly sharp, chillingly poised, and radiating a dangerous, magnetic authority, Julian commands every room he enters. He also possesses a deathly cold touch, a missing pulse, and a strange habit of only appearing after dark.
The chemistry between them is immediate, volatile, and toxic. But as their secret, late-night affair deepens, the investigation turns into a living nightmare. The whistleblowers Elena tracks aren't being murdered by a serial killer. They are being harvested.
Vampirism isn't a gothic myth it's the ultimate form of venture capitalism, and an ancient cabal has quietly bought up the world's media and infrastructure. Worst of all? Julian isn't trying to stop Elena from uncovering the truth. He's using her to eliminate his corporate rivals.
Locked in a glass newsroom at midnight, Elena realizes the terrifying reality: she isn't just sleeping with the enemy. She's completely at the mercy of the apex predator.
