She came back to bury the past — not to fall for the one man she was never supposed to want. Betsy has lived her whole life by one unshakeable rule — protect your dignity, guard your heart, and never let desire make a fool of you. It is the code her mother drilled into her bones, and she has never once broken it. She has a boyfriend, a faith she stands on, and principles she built her entire identity around. But nobody warned her about Drake. Her brother's best friend. The Alpha. The man whose presence alone makes her question everything she thought she knew about herself. She was gone long enough to forget the way this pack breathes — and now that she is back, she cannot escape him. Cannot escape the way her body betrays her every time he is near. Cannot escape the terrifying realization that this man — this impossible off-limits man — sees something in her that her own boyfriend never has. Drake has spent years building walls of his own. He is the Alpha. Disciplined. Untouchable. And Betsy is his best friend's little sister — a line he has never had reason to cross. Until now. Because she is back, and she is different, and something about her has gotten under his skin in a way he cannot logic his way out of. He does not understand it yet. But he feels it — deep, persistent, and dangerous. Some rules exist for a reason. These two are about to find out exactly what happens when you break them.

Nocturne Ville, as beautiful as the mystery city might be, has always been a magnet for supernaturals in an alternate America. Although neighbouring cities dismissed the bizarre happenings as fables, its citizens knew that there was more to the lovely metropolis than meets the eye, but they preferred to be oblivious to the reality. It was much simpler. There she was in the centre of it all. Desirée Doyle, who had the gentle and luminous aura of an empyrean creature, was divided between accepting the obvious reality and remaining convinced that everything was a myth. All she cared about was finishing college and escaping Nocturne Ville, which was the source of all her problems. Desirée was just interested in keeping her head down as usual, but the appearance of the intriguing André Baudelaire, a Vampire, appeared to be the solution to the hole she had always felt. Their encounter made Desirée rethink everything she had always believed, entangling them in a web of hot passion that André was determined to deny to the ends of the world, given his hatred for commitment as a result of his instability over decades.
