ALT Retaining her magic after becoming a vampire makes Verena the only one of her kind. An anomaly. An abomination. A heretic. She blends into human society, hiding the monster she fears she’s become behind potions, glamours, and silk gloves. But she’ll risk being discovered to protect her friend from a secret human Order that’s abducting witches. Unfortunately, she doesn’t anticipate Wolfe, a man who—for reasons she can’t fathom—bends the rules to keep her sabotage hidden from the Order. Nor her inconvenient attraction to him. What Verena doesn’t know is that Wolfe is the demon Hell sent to find her—and the one who kept her magic alive. A secret he can’t afford to let Hell discover. As the Order grows more dangerous and Hell closes in to claim or destroy what never should’ve existed, Wolfe must decide what he’s willing to risk to keep her alive. Verena, meanwhile, must decide whether she can trust the man who’s reminded her what safety feels like—or if falling for him is the greatest
ALT Snippets: Top Left: She was mine, yet I couldn’t have her. I couldn’t claim her, though everything within me demanded I did. She wouldn’t be safe without me, but I wouldn’t be safe with her. Top Right: I’d survived a hundred years rationing my magic like breath beneath water. Concealing and guarding myself. Seven Hells, I’d managed. Yet standing in the cellar, watching the darkness now creep beyond the crook of my arm, I bristled at the reminder. Bottom Left: “It’s flattering how much you enjoy my company.” He let out a laugh, rich and dark as nightshade, that rumbled in through my body. “And here I thought it was you who was enjoying mine.” “Would you prefer I didn’t?” I dared. Bottom Right: Her body shivered as I kissed her jaw, moving slowly until my mouth hovered over hers. “But if I need to be clearer, Verena, it’s you.”

ALT A red/orange gradient background with a small clipart of a script. The text reads: Off Book, Excerpt #2: Carl stopped humming and turned around. “Kris, you’re home.” His face transformed into a beam of light, radiating all the joy of a parent seeing their newborn for the first time. The energy was palpable in the room, and Mara couldn’t help but smile back. He crossed the room, a slight limp in his left leg, and took both Mara’s hands in his own. “I’ve made your favorite dinner. Just the way you like it with a pinch of sugar in the sauce.” Mara took a moment to compose herself, letting the mask of another person’s face slip over hers before responding. She closed her eyes and inhaled. “It smells great, Dad. Exactly how I like it.”
