Despite only ever being unlucky in love, when Anna meets Jay she falls hard and fast. But unlike the ideal man of her dreams, Jay’s life is in shambles. He stands accused of murder and treason and is on the run for his life. When Anna gets drawn in to his crazy world she learns her most steadfast beliefs may all be lies. Her parents didn’t really die in a car crash and the kind couple who raised her may have been accomplices in their murder. And there is one small detail she can’t quite get out of her head: her parents may have been vampires. Now she has to make some big sacrifices to help Jay, but can she make the really big one? Can she give up the sun for him? Embracing her heritage may have its own perks but only if she is willing to accept the darkness deep inside her soul.

It was a simple plan. Nothing should have gone wrong. Anna would be sent away to study under the same Hungarian shaman woman who had mentored her mother, keeping her far from the dangers of the war raging back home. Only Allen and Jay know where she is, and Jay will be at her side always, guarding her so she can focus on expanding her abilities to help her Hunter family. And that is a whole other can of worms Anna isn’t sure she wants to open. But nothing worth having in life comes easy. Despite their caution, Anna and Jay are tracked from Budapest to the sleepy town in the Transylvanian mountains by a monster. While he has his sights set on Anna, no one who gets in his way will survive, and Anna stands to lose the one thing she can’t live without.
