She's a 22-year-old accountant with a color-coded calendar, questionable coping mechanisms, and absolutely no idea how she ended up living with a 776-year-old vampire.

He's an ancient vampire billionaire with a blood feud, a Gothic tower, and seven centuries of emotional baggage.

She wants a normal life.

He wants to protect her.

Unfortunately, his definition of "protect" involves controlling her schedule, monitoring her whereabouts, and treating their fake relationship like a hostile corporate takeover.

Then the attraction gets real.

Now Becca has to survive ancient vampire politics, murderous rivals, an inconveniently intense boss, and the horrifying realization that the monster who terrifies everyone else might actually be the man who makes her feel safest.

She was supposed to pretend to date her vampire boss.

She wasn't supposed to fall in love with him.
