When Lucia discovers that her fiancé, Walter, has been unfaithful, Lucia is left heartbroken and abandoned just days before their wedding. That's when Emmett Cullen, a vampire with a magnetic, carefree charm, saves her and introduces her to a world she never knew existed.
As the Cullens become her new family, Lucia is torn between the haunting memories of her human life and the fierce loyalty she feels for her new loved ones. She finds herself drawn to Emmett in a way she never anticipated. With his easy smile and the way he makes her feel whole, Lucia begins to understand the depth of the love and connection she never thought she would experience.
Struggling with the emotional toll of her change, and her unfulfilled dreams, Lucia's journey is fraught with challenges. And while she learns to accept her new existence, the shadow of the life she lost will always linger.
In Emmett, however, she finds not just a partner, but the hope of a new beginning-a future where they can heal together, navigating the complexities of immortality, loss, and the love that binds them.
Aurelia only came to Forks to help Carlisle protect his family. She fully intends to be on the first plane back home when this whole mess is over.
But when locking eyes with Charlie Swan reveals a mate-bond she had long since abandoned hope of finding, Aurelia is torn between the life of solitude and freedom she's known for the last 500 years, and a potential life with the man fate has deemed her equal in every way.
Warring with her checkered past and centuries of heartbreak, Charlie's protective vampire daughter, and the Volturi, Aurelia almost wishes she never picked up the phone in the first place.
