"Blood above all else."Anna Fensby just wants a normal life. After being kidnapped by vampires, imprisoned in a castle, and discovering that her best friend Lucy is not only a werewolf, but also a Blood Moon Matron - whatever that is, Anna is ready to forget about all things supernatural. Now living in the bustling city of Manchester, she hopes to turn over a new leaf. But no matter how much distance she puts between herself and what happened, she can't seem to forget the handsome, surprisingly gentle vampire who guarded her prison cell. Alaric Zalatoris has dedicated his life to serving his Noble vampire House. But with the failure of the most recent Blood Moon ritual, after his youngest brother Nickolas betrayed their family by falling in love with Lucy, the Blood Moon Matron destined to sire his father's heir, it is Alaric's duty to clean up the mess. With Nickolas and Lucy in hiding, Alaric's only option is to seek out Anna, Lucy's best friend, in the hope she can lead him to them. But reuniting with Anna stirs up feelings and memories Alaric thought he had buried long ago. Love has no place in the Zalatoris family. So why can't Alaric shake the feeling that Anna is more than just a pawn in his plot for revenge?
