--------Cassius has spent centuries perfecting control. Desire is a weakness. Attachment is a liability, and love? Love is something he buried long before Paris became his new home.

Then he sees Ansel. Cold. Defiant. Untouchable.

A man who doesn’t look away, who doesn’t bend, who should have been forgettable, but isn’t.

When Ansel is dragged into a private auction and sold to the highest bidder, Cassius doesn’t hesitate. He breaks rules.
Tempts fate and kills to get him back.

But taking Ansel was the easy part. Keeping him is how everything inside this vampire unravels.

Because Ansel isn’t prey. He isn’t grateful. And he refuses to belong to anyone—not even the vampire who risked everything to claim him.

Now, hunted by powerful enemies and bound by a path neither of them can undo, Cassius is forced into something far more dangerous than

Choice.

If Cassius gets it wrong, he won’t just lose Ansel. He’ll lose what’s left of himself before he became one ot the undead.
