When med student Lila volunteers for a late-night clinical trial, she expects nothing more than a few hours of mundane medical tests. Instead, she meets Dr. Adrien Vale — enigmatic, intense, and hiding a secret that could change her world. Adrien isn't just any researcher; he's a centuries-old vampire, cursed with an unending hunger and a past that haunts him. Lila's blood sparks something unprecedented — a calm within his storm, a taste that both soothes and ignites. Drawn to each other despite the danger, their chemistry is undeniable. But when a rival vampire threatens their fragile bond, Adrien's darkest instincts surface, testing the limits of his control and his desire to protect her. As secrets unravel and old enemies resurface, Lila must decide whether to trust the man fighting his monstrous nature or fear the beast lurking beneath. Will Adrien's love prove stronger than his curse, or will his past destroy the one chance at redemption he's ever known? In a world where danger shadows every heartbeat, can love truly conquer darkness?
