After giving myself up to the Fae, I expected to become the latest casualty of a war that should have ended centuries ago. Instead, I ended up inextricably bound to the last vampire on earth. My life since the Fae marked me has become unrecognizable. Inside, I'm still the 26-year-old waitress who struggled with working two jobs while being serially dumped by a parade of disgruntled boyfriends. Now, I've somehow become a figurehead, coveted and despised in equal measure by two warring supernatural races. Can I trust the fragile bond connecting my heart to the unbeating heart of a vampire? Every instinct I possess tells me to pull back... protect myself... protect him. But every time I try to run away, I end up back in his arms. Alliances are shifting. Old resentments are flaring. Both my father and I are now chess pieces in someone else's grand strategy. . * * * is a steamy new urban fantasy romance series from USA Today Bestseller R. A.
