Would you marry someone just to stay alive? Emma has to. When she finds out she’s a rare witch with uncontrollable powers, she must wed the most powerful vampire in town – Balthazar Heinz. But this won’t be easy. He’s already given his heart to another – Rosie. She just so happens to be his mortal enemy, and he has no clue. When Emma becomes Mrs. Heinz, she will inherit the responsibility to protect him no matter what. Regardless of whether he pushes her away. Regardless of whether he calls her crazy. And regardless of what the city thinks. Will she be able to claim her powers, her city, and a vampire she must grow to love, though his heart is as cold as ice? Or will Rosie win and break this great family apart once and for all?

She’s married. She’s actually married. But trust her, happiness won’t come until much, much later. Rosie soon makes her move. She won’t abide by Emma messing with her curses. And Emma is a particularly soft target. Balthazar won’t protect her – no matter what. When the coven and her friends abandon her too, Emma will have to find a way – and a reason – to fight on her own. She finds it. Because Rosie Lindley can throw anything at her, and Emma Heinz will just throw it back harder.

They say marriage is meant to be hard, right? But there’s hard, then there’s the whole city trying to kill you. Emma is still in psychiatric care. Though you should ignore the care bit. Everyone’s trying to kill her. But she refuses to be killed. Rosie can’t win – no Lindley ever will again. As Emma is pulled further into the family war, she picks back Rosie’s curses one by one and gets closer to the man she can’t love, but the man she can’t hate, either. Good. Because Balthazar’s time is running out. If his blindfold can’t be removed soon, he will marry Rosie, and his family will be destroyed forevermore.

She’s finally found what she’s needed from the beginning – a reason, and a way, to fight for Balthazar without fighting him first. But her newfound love won’t last. When Rosie captures everyone Emma has ever cared about, it will be time for Emma to do what she should have done from the beginning – wake Balthazar up once and for all. But will Emma be ready when he sees her – when he finally sees her for who she truly is? She’ll have to find out. Join her for the ride.
