Dahlia has spent her life hunting vampires to avenge her slain parents, and her most dangerous assignment yet takes her to a prestigious music academy in Venice where she must get close to the legendary Professor Aminoff—the vampire who inspired Dracula himself. What she doesn't expect is the intoxicating pull between them, the way he looks at her like she's his entire world, or the dangerous secret that he knows her soul in ways no one else ever could. As their forbidden connection deepens, Dahlia begins to question everything she's been told about her mission, her past, and the man she's sworn to kill—a man who might just be the only one who's ever truly understood her. This is a gorgeously dark, utterly spicy vampire romance about fated love, dangerous deception, and the question of whether some souls are simply meant to find each other across lifetimes.
