Gracelyn Marlow survives more than two years as the captive of vampire Lucian Devereaux, only to wake under the protection of Maksym Kozlov, King of the West, and as a vampire herself.
Maksym spent centuries building a kingdom in Las Vegas while fate chose others, including his father and brother, and he gave Grace his blood because it was the only way to keep her alive.
That choice made him her sire and her fated mate, a bond she wants no part of even as it draws her toward the king she is determined to refuse.
Maksym will not take what she is unwilling to give, yet his corrupt court offers the former prosecutor a place to use the law and recover the woman captivity tried to erase.
When the crimes beneath his kingdom lead her back to Lucian, Grace holds the power to decide how the vampire who stole her years will answer for them.
