I never knew fear until I looked him in the eyes, his milky gaze made me nauseated, like empty pools of lost souls. I was made to swallow the bile just to save face, but he smiled at the hammering of my too-human heart, his crooked and protruding nose wrinkling as he smiled, "the little rabbit thinks she can trick me?" he asked no one, voice light and wispy like an audible brushing of wind through a spiderweb, "lets see how she likes it when she finds out what lies she's been told".
18 year old Adaline hates her luck, hates her life, and most of all hates Caspar Litzpar. Caspar just wants to keep his One safe and away from the other clans that thirst for her blood. So he may have kidnapped her in the process, acted on instinct and stole her from her family, but fate had sent him his mate, and damn the rest of the universe if anything was going to take her from him.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
