She doesn't do trouble. He's a whole of it.

When tough, no-nonsense Hera Abdullah Stevens makes the acquaintance of Aleksandr Mikhailovich, she wants to tear his clothes off as well as run the other way. His cunningly sweet smile hides trouble, and she's proven right when she's suddenly flung chin deep into vampire society, a long-standing feud for the Vampire Throne, and a history lesson about family including her Uncle Joe and some dame called High Priestess. Well, her life's never been sweet.

Aleksandr Mikhailovich saw her and he lost it. Eyes that stop trouble, will as immovable as a mountain, and a body that makes him want. Everything. Hera Abdullah Stevens is stability and delights, a future an aged, tormented vampire of his strength could never dare to dream of beholding. Tormented by past and power, Alek was the only one with both age and strength capable of stopping Theodore the Mad. It cost him his kin, friends, and freedom, and now the same society he rescued threatens to take away Hera. With whispers of the Illness corrupted power at his heels, Aleksandr sets out the longest game to draw out his enemies and lay claim to the very thing he despises: the Vampire Throne. For Hera.

Will it keep Hera safe? He hopes so. Will he lose her? Or will the trouble prove too much? Can Hera and Alek handle their bloodthirsty kin? Or will it prove too much for a Vampire King and possible Queen?
