Evelina Mercer is barely holding her life together. Her mother is sick, and the hospital bills keep piling up. The only thing her late father left behind is an old motorcycle that has become both her livelihood and her last connection to him, and their small but comfortable house. She works whatever jobs she can find, including waitressing at Sin & Silk, and deliveries for NippyZippy. Then one delivery takes her to a mansion in Nightfall Estate. The mansion belongs to Adrian Nightmere, a man whose wealth, power, and unnerving presence make Evelina feel as though he could see right through her soul. What she doesn't know is that Adrian is a vampire and that her arrival at his estate is not a coincidence. Evelina's blood carries a secret that the vampire world has spent centuries trying to erase. She is descended from an ancient bloodline once considered sacred and forbidden, a bloodline capable of changing everything vampires believe about their own kind. To Evelina, the job at Nightfall Estate is simply a way to keep her mother alive. To Adrian, her arrival may be the beginning of the greatest threat his kingdom has ever known.
