Zaedy is a 25-year-old woman who has spent her entire life believing in a lie. Kidnapped by her own father, she is forced to confront a terrifying truth: her whole existence has been an elaborate deception. Far from the image of a corporate CFO in a multinational company, her father is the most feared vampire hunter. The leader of an ancient, brutal bloodline-her family, known for generations as merciless killers, committed to the eradication of vampires.
What happens when Zaedy is thrust into a world of danger, deception, and deadly politics. One wrong move, one slip-up, and the fragile peace between vampire factions could collapse into an all-out war.
Her father and the vampires believes she's just a normal human girl, capable only of following orders and wielding a weapon, nothing more than a pawn-a helpless human who poses no threat. But what they don't know is that Zaedy has been hiding a dark secret. A secret so powerful, so terrifying, that the thought of it would send even the most hardened vampire into a frenzy of fear.
Zaedy is not who anyone believes her to be. Beneath her innocent exterior lies a past so tragic, so filled with pain, that it has molded her into something far more dangerous than anyone could ever imagine. A tragedy that could shatter the delicate balance of power in a world ruled by vampires.
What happened to Zaedy? What hidden truth makes her more lethal than even her father, the vampire hunter, could ever comprehend? As the stakes rise and the tension builds, Zaedy will be forced to confront her own demons-and the terrifying realization that the line between hunter and hunted is far more blurred than she ever thought.
This is a story of betrayal, hidden power, and the brutal weight of a past that refuses to stay buried. With tragic moments and gut-wrenching revelations, Zaedy's journey will take her through darkness and bloodshed, leaving no one-and nothing-untouched.
She was lost and so was he.
Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one.
Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning.
As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together.
Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him.
And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him.
All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would.

"I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me."
"I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water.
"I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."
