Twilight meets Gossip Girl in the filthiest, sexiest vampire book of the year by million-copy bestselling author Geneva Lee.
Julian Rousseaux has a problem. He´s single, and for the world´s wealthiest vampires, the social season is about to begin. Julian would rather stake himself than participate in the marriage market. But as the eldest, eligible Rousseaux he´s expected to find a wife before the season ends-whether he likes it or not.
When cellist Thea literally stumbles into his life at a gala, he knows she´s the last person he could ever fall in love with. She´s too innocent, too kind, and way too human. But now that she knows about his world, she´s also a walking target. She needs protection; he needs a fake girlfriend to discourage overzealous vampire matchmaking.
So, Julian makes Thea an irresistible offer: pretend to be his lover and he´ll change her life. For one year, they´ll attend the season´s social events together in exchange for his protection and a way out of her mother´s crippling medical debt.
She can´t say no. But the vampire world is impossibly decadent and darker than Thea ever imagined, and Julian´s filthy rich vampire family wants her out of the way. But with each moment they share, new dangers emerge: a desire as forbidden as their stolen touches, an awakening of a long-dead heart, and secrets that could tear them both apart.
