"Did I not specify a blood-red espresso, Miss Gabrielle?"
In the cutthroat world of corporate finance, Gabrielle, 25, lands her dream job as an assistant at Gorvell Enterprises-only to discover her new boss is far from ordinary.
Matthew Gorvell is an enigmatic, notoriously ruthless CEO with an icy demeanor, a sharp tongue... and a secret he's kept for centuries.
He's a vampire.
From brutal boardroom battles to late-night meetings, Matthew's impossible standards and terrifying presence keep everyone on edge-especially Gabrielle. But when a coffee-spilling accident sparks an unexpected shift between them, their fiery clashes begin to blur into something dangerously irresistible.
As Gabrielle navigates Matthew's bizarre quirks-his aversion to sunlight, his unconventional cravings, and his blood-red espresso-she starts to glimpse the man beneath the monster. And between snarky banter, office politics, and forbidden attraction, sparks fly in the most dangerous way possible.

Update Every Fridays 🧛
My life completely changed when my mom passed away from a sickness, forcing me to move in with my aunt miles away.
I've always been a grumpy, anti-social kid, but losing my mother made me angrier with the world.
So when I run into another student at my new school, I don't stop myself from opening my mouth to tell him off.
However what I didn't know was that this guy is the feared Killian Reed; A guy no one wants to get on his bad side.
And for a moment, seconds after being shoved into the lockers by him, I was certain Killian was going to make my life a living hell.
Then one day, he shocks me when he stops a couple of guys from hitting me.
At first I don't think there's much to it.
But then I start to suspect there's more to Killian; A secret that has something to do with me.
All of a sudden, I find myself dealing with strange, dangerous occurrences, and with Killian who somehow always seems to be there to safely get me out of them.
