Jane has been running from one thing her whole life. Magic. She’s just had no clue it exists. On a dream holiday to Nice, France, she finds out. To do that, she must meet him. Her guard. The Hell-Hexed vampire who’s watched over and protected her through multiple lifetimes. Julian Deveraux is trapped, always has been, always will be. The self-avowed guard of a creature born from the heart of dimensional fire, he can only watch her from afar. He can’t pull her into this magical realm again. All he wants is for her to lead a peaceful life, but when she comes to Nice, his desires unravel. He finds himself squeezed between Jane’s growing power and the dark Council of Nix. A dangerous group of magicians, they control his every move. But they can’t control Jane, no matter how hard they hunt her. Nothing can stop her now she’s chosen to rise. She will find a way to stop the Council and fold herself back into Julian’s arms, no matter what it takes.
