He swore he'd never love again.
She swore she didn't believe in fate.
But the bond between them doesn't care what they swore.
Elara just wanted a quiet life. Instead, she found herself drawn to the dangerous, brooding vampire next door-a man who insists that letting him close will destroy her. Alistair has lived two centuries convinced love only leads to ruin, and the bond tying him to Elara feels more like a curse than a gift. He fights it. He fights her. He fights himself.
But fate is relentless. And when a jealous rival from his past strikes, Elara becomes the one thing Alistair can't risk losing. To claim her, he'll have to stop running from the truth: she isn't his downfall-she's his redemption.
She was never meant to be fragile.
And he was never meant to love again.
Together, they'll fight the shadows and claim forever.
