HE’S A 300-YEAR-OLD VAMPIRE. HE’S THE CAPTAIN OF THE HOCKEY TEAM. AND I JUST SPILLED BOILING COFFEE ON HIS CROTCH.

Arthur Vane is the King of St. Vasilis University. He’s rich, he’s arrogant, and he’s the best hockey player in the country. He’s also cold. Literally. As in, "hasn't had a pulse since the 1700s" cold. He skates to silence the screaming in his head, and he keeps everyone at a distance to protect his secret. He doesn't do relationships. He doesn't do warmth. And he certainly doesn't do human assistants.

Claire "Chaos" Bennett is hanging onto her scholarship by a thread. She needs money, she needs stability, and she definitely doesn't need a boss who looks like a statue carved out of marble and resentment. But when a disastrous interview ends with a dry-cleaning bill higher than her tuition, she’s forced to work off the debt. Her job? Manage Arthur’s impossible schedule. Keep his secrets. And try not to notice the way his eyes turn pitch black when he looks at her.

It was supposed to be strictly professional. But late nights in the penthouse and long bus rides to away games have a way of blurring the lines. Arthur is dangerous, possessive, and starving. And Claire? She’s the only thing that makes him feel alive.

But when a moment of weakness leads to an impossible consequence, Arthur’s secret isn't the only thing at risk. Now, they're facing a scandal that could ruin them both, a rival vampire out for blood, and a miracle that defies the laws of nature.

He’s spent three centuries running from life. But he’ll burn the world down to keep her.
