Chloe Reed, a 24-year-old nursing student, was publicly dumped by her boyfriend of five years, Mason, after he began dating the heir to a biotech conglomerate.
That night, after finishing her night shift at the pharmacy, Chloe found a pale, almost unreal-looking young man—Lucian Ver—at a bus stop in the pouring rain.
Lucian had no ID, no place to stay, an abnormally low body temperature, and refused to be examined at the hospital. After Chloe took him back to her rented apartment, he bared his fangs and confessed that he was a pureblood vampire on the run.
Even more dangerous was the fact that Lucian discovered Chloe’s blood could suppress his uncontrollable urges, and after he drank her blood for the first time, Chloe awakened the “Heart of Dawn”—a power stemming from a secret experiment conducted during her childhood.
