In the shadowed streets of a city that never truly sleeps, Evelyn Sparks hides a secret as dark as the bodies she examines. She’s the borough coroner—cool, meticulous, and unshakably composed. But she’s also what the world believes to be a myth: a vampire surviving discreetly off the blood that passes through her morgue. It’s a perfect arrangement—until someone starts stealing her supply.

Detective Johnathan Hale has seen it all… or so he thinks. Hardened by years of chasing killers through alleys and lies, he’s called to investigate a string of gruesome crimes that make no sense—bodies drained of blood before they reach the coroner’s slab. When he meets Evelyn, something about her unnerves him, though he can’t say why. Their partnership crackles with tension, curiosity, and an undeniable pull neither can explain.

But the trail leads them somewhere darker than either expected—a rogue vampire with no regard for secrecy, and a witch whose magic threatens to unbind the fragile veil between the living and the dead. As Evelyn and Johnathan fight to uncover the truth, old wounds resurface, forbidden desires ignite, and the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur.

In a world where blood ties mean everything, love may be the most dangerous mystery of all.
