Lana never expected her journey to scatter her grandmother’s ashes to turn into a fight for her heart—and her life. Stranded by a fierce snowstorm at a remote mountain inn, she discovers she's not alone. The inn’s only other guest, Lucien, is a brooding, enigmatic stranger with a charm that feels oddly timeless. Despite his guarded nature and evasive habits, Lana can’t ignore the magnetic pull between them.

As the blizzard rages outside, Lana starts noticing the unsettling details: Lucien never eats, avoids the sun, and seems more comfortable in the dark. When the truth comes out—Lucien is a vampire fighting his own monstrous nature—Lana must confront her deepest fears and desires.

Lucien warns her that his world is dangerous, and loving him could come at a deadly cost. But as desire turns into something deeper, Lana refuses to let fear dictate her heart. She knows that falling for Lucien might break her—but losing him would shatter her soul.

Can love truly conquer darkness? Or will Lucien’s need to protect Lana force him to make the ultimate sacrifice?

In a world where sunrise could mean goodbye, will one kiss be enough to keep them together?
