Ophelia built a quiet life from the pieces left after the abuse. She is sharp-tongued when she needs to be and kind even when it costs her. One night walking home from her best friend's birthday, a stranger sinks his teeth into her throat and everything changes.
The vampire academy finds her before she can run. Hidden in an abandoned city, survival is not optional. Her professor is Mr. Jackson: ruthless, brilliant, and known for never softening for anyone. He is rude from the first look. She answers him with her own fire.
Slow burn. Grumpy x sunshine. Blood, restraint, and a love that grows in the spaces between fear and longing.
