Overview

Jade, a centuries old vampire drifting through endless nights with a heart hardened by time and loss. Immortal and haunted by the ghosts of her past, she’s made peace with the loneliness that comes with being a vampire. Her life is a blur of shadows and fleeting pleasures—until she meets Rose.

Rose is achingly human. She may be small in stature but makes up for it in feistiness. She’s the kind of woman who can turn a stormy night into something beautiful with just a laugh, the kind of woman whose heartbeat throbs like music to Jade’s ears. Their worlds couldn’t be further apart, but when their paths cross one fateful evening, something stirs inside Jade—a hunger, yes, but also something deeper. Something that has nothing to do with blood.

As Jade tries to keep her distance, she finds herself drawn to Rose’s kindness, her fierce independence, and the way she lights up a world that has long been dark for Jade. But there are dangers lurking at the edges of their connection: the vampire world has rules, and humans are not meant to be more than prey or playthings. And Jade? She's a creature of habit, with walls built too high to let anyone in.
