When Morgan Holt’s grandmother dies and she inherits her debt, Morgan is forced to join the vampire mafia to pay it off. However, earning the approval of her ornery boss, Lys de Beauvau, is more difficult than she could have ever imagined, especially once sparks start flying between them. All the while, underlying political conflicts in their organization rise to a boiling point, threatening all that they’ve built together since being united as blood sisters. Will Lys and Morgan make it out unscathed, or will their tyrant of a leader, Arum de Sade, lead them and their family to their deaths?
