Odette Zaleria, an heiress to the New York clan, gave up her rightful place as ruler to fight for a cause she believed in. Now, with vampire hunters closing in, she must reclaim her seat on the dangerous Family Council, and convince her kin of the real and imminent threat. 

However, she has since been replaced by her sister's fiancé - a ruthless manipulative vampire and her former confidant, Dorian Darascu.

To succeed, she devises a daring plan - to seduce a vampire hunter and former military official, Jax, who has been dishonourably discharged. But Jax proves to be hard to fool and even harder to resist. 

Odette is tangled in a web of lies and secrets, forced to choose between her family, her future, and the truth she's only just beginning to uncover.All Rights Reserved
