From USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Knight comes a Book Excellence Award-winning small-town mafia vampire romance with human/vampire fated mates and a dangerous past that refuses to stay buried.
I knew better than to stay in one place for too long.
I knew better than to want her.
When Calla O'Bannion returns home to Burn Falls for Thanksgiving, fate puts her in my path. She's grief wrapped in fire after her father is attacked by a vampire, and she looks at me like I'm not the monster that I am.
I've spent a century running from Chicago's mafia, walking away from men with blood on their hands and deals written in whiskey and death. I thought that world was behind me, but some things refuse to stop chasing me.
Now they're coming for her.
She doesn't know what I am.
She doesn't know the truth about her father.
If I tell her, I lose her.
If I don't, I might lose her anyway.
I've survived almost one hundred years without peace. I can't survive another one without her.
