Isabella never expected a routine day at work to change everything. Ricardo isn’t just handsome and magnetic when his dark eyes lock on hers, it feels like he sees straight through her.

Desire battles doubt as her world tips into something she can’t quite explain. Ricardo isn’t like anyone she’s ever met intense, mysterious, and maybe not entirely human.
Is Isabella ready to risk her heart on him, or should she run before it’s too late?
