Irina Rostova was never meant to inherit the Russian mob. But after her father's sudden death, she steps into a world of blood, betrayal, and power-where no one believes she can lead. Ruthless, unpredictable, and always two steps ahead, she's determined to prove them wrong.
Elijah Mikaelson is an Original vampire, a legend wrapped in elegance and danger. When he seeks Irina's help, their worlds collide in a tangled web of alliances, deception, and an undeniable attraction.
Their connection is intoxicating, forbidden, and laced with secrets. But in a life where trust is a weakness and love is a weapon, how far is Elijah willing to go to keep Irina safe?
And when enemies close in, will she choose power, revenge... or the man who was never supposed to be hers?

More than one therapist has told me that letting go of the past would do wonders for my mental health. My refusal to accept what has happened has left me with unhealthy coping mechanisms that result in this person haunting me for the rest of my life.
I want to let go.
I really want to, but how does one accept that after loving someone for so long, they will just leave you for dead in a burning theatre?
