📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A vampire hunter questions her life's work after being captured by her prey.

Megan has dedicated five years to training as a vampire hunter. She aims to kill as many of these creatures as possible because they seem to replace each one she destroys with five more. The pressure from the council is intense, yet she continues her exhausting routine. Everything changes when a mistake leads to her capture by a vampire. Instead of death, he brings her into his lair. This encounter forces her to question the validity of her training and the nature of her enemies. She starts to suspect that the vampires might not be the villains she was taught to believe. The story focuses on this internal conflict and the developing relationship between hunter and target. Stern delivers a steamy romance that subverts typical genre expectations by blurring the lines between monster and victim.
