England, 1895
Diana Westenra does not fit in the small city that saw her grow up. A self-declared spinster with an unhealthy curiosity, a strong opinion and a library to match, the young woman has failed for years in the only task her family gave her: securing a suitable husband.
With her hopes withered after spending time in France, she comes back to Purfleet to care for her sick mother and organize the marriage of Lucy, her younger sister, already engaged to a gentleman. There, new and old friendships await.
But a monster arrives in England and sinks her family into despair, changing her life forever. Thrown into a battle that defies her beliefs and the foundations of her very soul, Diana will have to choose between the darkness and the light of her own heart to rise to the occasion...or fall. Through it all, the words she spills on her journal are the only thing keeping her almost safe from insanity.
Werewolves and vampires don't mix, or that's what Kieran Callisto, a seventeen-year-old vampire, has believed all his life - until he falls for the Alpha's son.
*****
When Kieran meets his new classmate, Mason Kane, he bristles with an unexplainable disdain. Soon it becomes apparent why: Mason is a werewolf. But when a fight turns into a sudden kiss that neither expects, Kieran's feelings for Mason turn to attraction in an instant. None of it makes sense - vampires and werewolves are supposed to be mortal enemies, so why does Kieran find Mason so irresistible? He knows that each kiss is dangerous, each bite is unpredictable...
