In a world where vampires have surfaced to human society, Aurelie Teagan must learn how to cope with walking past these bloodsuckers in the street without fear.
Especially when she is offered a scholarship to Milton Academy -- a private vampire and human boarding school in Switzerland.
Upon arrival, Aurelie knocks into the king of not only Milton, but in line for the throne of vampire royalty himself, Luca Matthews. From the start she could tell there was a spark of some sort, but couldn't quite put a finger on it. She denies any type of attraction to him and stays far away as possible. Until one night when she truly figures out what is between them.

"You knew this whole time...this entire time you kept me in the dark! Why?!" I screamed, tears pouring down my cheeks as I grabbed Luca's tux collar tightly.
My heart nearly fell out of my chest as I peered into his eyes and noticed the cold expression I first saw when I stepped foot into this bloody school.
"Because I don't need nor want a mate. What I feel for you is purely due to this bond. Nothing more, nothing less. I suggest you stay on your path, and I'll stay on mine. I sure as hell do not need a pesky, useless human mate to keep me from my goals. I know what I want in my future queen, and frankly, it's not you. Goodbye, Aurelie." Luca wrapped his hands around my hands clutching his collar, and forcibly removed them. I watched him walk away without a second glance, taking my heart with him.
