Alma Vampires (The Icarus University Series)

One semester, Valle Cepeda is a scholarship student scraping by at Icarus University. The next, she's the sole heir to Alma—a coveted, century-old fashion empire worth more money than she can fathom—left to her by a mother she never knew existed.

Val doesn't want the empire. She doesn't want the enemies that come with it, either. And she definitely doesn't want Hadrian Cruz, the infuriatingly gorgeous, calculating vampire who materializes at her side with an agenda she can't quite read. He claims he's there to protect her from the very real dangers circling Alma's throne. She suspects he's just another predator waiting for the right moment to strike.

She's not entirely wrong.

Hadrian has spent a hundred years bound by a blood debt that ties his fate to Alma's legacy in ways Val is only beginning to understand. He doesn't do sincerity. He doesn't do warmth. And he absolutely doesn't do feelings—until Val starts making that inconveniently difficult to maintain.

Set against the glamorous, razor-sharp world of high fashion and the hidden paranormal underbelly lurking beneath Icarus University's prestigious halls, *Alma Vampires* delivers everything fans of Elena Armas have come to love: blistering tension, slow-burning desire, and two people who would rather fight than admit the truth pulling them together.

Val came for answers about her mother. She didn't plan on wanting the vampire sworn to guard her life with his own.
