Stefhane Richland is an ancient vampire aristocrat living in self-imposed exile within a secluded New York mansion. Haunted by a painful past, he harbors a deep-seated disdain for humanity, preferring the silence of the coast to the company of mortals. However, his isolation is shattered when Iona Miller, a desperate book conservator on the run from a relentless stalker, trespasses into his sanctuary, believing the estate to be abandoned. What begins as an intrusion quickly spirals into a dangerous alliance. When Iona’s stalker kidnaps her friend to use as leverage, the unlikely pair is forced to bridge the gap between their worlds. Stefhane and Iona must navigate a tense, high-stakes game of cat and mouse to rescue her friend before it is too late. This gripping paranormal dark romance features a classic "grumpy/sunshine" dynamic and an enemies-to-lovers spark that ignites under the pressure of mortal danger. As they hunt for the predator tracking them, Stefhane and Iona are forced to confront their deepest fears and burgeoning desires. Will they learn to trust one another in time to stop the stalker, or will the darkness of their pasts consume them both?
