On the night her lover was killed, Ruby Stoker managed to stick a dagger in the killer's chest. Unfortunately, the mysterious man he knew as a member of the bloodsucking or Strigoi managed to escape with serious injuries. Since then Ruby is determined to spend the rest of her life taking revenge on all the bloodsuckers she meets.
On the other hand, Alexander Dexter, a professor of classical studies at Trinity University Dublin who is famous for never getting old, has spent half his life trying to die. Unfortunately, the curse that he has can not make him die.
Alex has a dark secret that he can't reveal to everyone. That includes Ruby, the red-haired girl in his class to whom he has been attracted since the first time he met her. Ruby's eyes were as dark as black holes as if they could suck anyone into them. Alex falls in love and is determined to protect Ruby from the dangers that are after her. But as his feelings grew stronger, Alex found that there was no more room in Ruby's heart left for him. Because the space in Ruby's heart has been filled by two familiar names: Daniel Hamilton, Ruby's lover who died a few years ago, and Theodoric Drake, someone she is closest to and respects.

Falling for Forbidden
She was once the cherished daughter of a respected professor, but now, she is nothing more than a shadow in the city-poor, struggling, and alone. Whispers follow her wherever she goes. Beauty like hers, they say, is a curse for a girl without power. They assume she'll do anything for money. But she is fire, untamed and unbroken. The university, once her father's legacy, is now under the control of a powerful man-a man who watches her with a cruel smile, waiting for the moment she will break. He holds the strings to her fate, dragging her into a silent war where wealth and control always win. Then, he returns. The boy who once played by her side, the boy who vanished the night of the tragedy, is back-no longer a friend, no longer the boy she knew. Now, he stands at the front of the lecture hall, wearing the title of Professor. His cold, unreadable eyes lock onto hers. His touch lingers like a ghost from the past. He helps her in the shadows, yet she feels his presence in every downfall she faces. Does he still hold the warmth of their past, or has he returned only to watch her drown? As secrets unravel and desires ignite, she must decide-fight against the power that seeks to destroy her, or surrender to the darkness lurking within the man she once called her own.
