When a brilliant academic becomes the last hope against centuries of supernatural tyranny, love might be the only weapon powerful enough to break an ancient curse.
Dr. Seraphina Cross thought her biggest challenge was defending her dissertation—until she inherited a crumbling estate and discovered she's the final piece in a supernatural conspiracy spanning four centuries. Bound by the sinister Crimson Pact, she must choose between transformation into a vampire's eternal servant or watching an entire town burn.

Forbidden attraction ignites between a determined scholar and her centuries-old protector
Ancient magic collides with modern academia in the most dangerous way possible

As their forbidden bond deepens, they uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of vampire society.
With time running out and enemies closing in, Seraphina must master abilities she never knew she possessed. But the price of freedom might be higher than either of them imagined, and some sacrifices can never be undone.
