When twenty-four-year-old Emily Colsack was pushed towards Maxim Shantez at the tender age of nineteen, her father had told her it was set in the stars, that they were meant to be. Two days after her marriage to Maxim, her father was found dead beside her mother in a car wreck. Left with nobody but Maxim, Emily finds herself trapped in a violent and destructive marriage. After another brutal battering, Emily runs from the house straight into the path of a car.
Annabella wasn't paying attention, her mate, Marvi, was chained to the seat and was fighting against his restraints to go and look for his next frenzied feed. All Anna can think to do is bundle the girl into her car and take her home where her sister Annyeta can help.
A tale unfolds and it turns out that introducing Emily into the Ramirez clan was not Anna's brightest idea. Not only is she a distraction to every vampire there but she also gets the attention of the Clan leader, Elijah. Their journey is not a pretty one, this is not a happy tale of Vampire loves human, Vampire turns girl and everyone lives happily ever after. Emily could kill every Vampire in the Ramirez clan without ever meaning too and Elijah must fight to keep everything he loves alive.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
