Cursed prince, forgotten castle, and only a few hours of moonlight to be human. She wandered into his ruins searching for escape and found a man who's been waiting centuries to be seen. By day he's a monster. By night he's hers — if she's brave enough to stay.

Locked away in a crumbling estate, Vuk is less heir than hostage to his own bloodline. She was hired to ignore him. She opened the door instead. Now, three days from the full moon, a man who's never been loved must decide if he's more monster than man — or if she's the one who proves otherwise.

She found him wounded in the forest and thought he needed saving. She never saw the ring, the fangs, or the centuries behind his eyes. Dorian should have killed her. He didn't. And now a vampire who's survived everything is learning what it means to be undone by a heartbeat.

He came out of the dark like a threat and fell like a man with nothing left. Kris is all sharp edges and bad plans, but beneath the bluster is someone who's been alone too long to remember how to ask for anything gently.

Old money, no warmth, and a gaze that pins you in place. Damon doesn't know how to ask for attention — so he demands it. Behind the fear he creates is a man who never learned another way to be wanted.

Head of a mafia clan and master of controlled chaos. Viktor speaks with quiet authority and a smirk that means he already knows how this ends. But the woman behind bars is a variable he never planned for — and the only one who might undo him completely.
