*Duet Narration*I was a ruthless monster. A right-hand enforcer to the most powerful sociopathic vampire in the world. The only thing that mattered was satiating my bloodthirst for killing. When it came time to take out the Assembly, a group of demented humans who used creatures of the Otherworld for their own sick entertainment, I was ready to litter the ground with their corpses. And I did my job well. But when I woke up in the middle of nowhere and realized I’d...

Anche se stare con Cameron e dargli fino all’ultima parte di me, l’...

I said it was a reprieve from the world and myself.
Cooking and cleaning for Finland "Fin" Hawthorne at his secluded estate situated on a hundred acres seemed like just the recharge I needed. No interaction with society, the vast wilderness as my backyard, and the likelihood of having to actually socialize with my new employer was slim to none.
That sounded like the perfect escape to ...

I was instantly obsessed.

I didn't know her name, but I wasn't letting her get away.
