Summary
Lucy takes the tutoring assignment because she doesn’t want to be in her house for even a second longer than she has to. She wants to get the fuck away from her parents and the yelling and the shame and the little box of razors she keeps in the far corner of her top drawer.
She has no idea, when she accepts the extra credit, that it’s going to change her entire fucking life.
“He can be… grumpy,” her English Lit teacher says, and Lucy winces where she’s standing in the doorway, her books clasped to her chest and her heavy backpack weighing her down.
“So he’s an asshole?”
Luna smiles at her and chuckles softly as she shakes her head.
“No, he’s a good boy deep down. He’s … like a burnt marshmallow, really. All crispy and rough on the outside, but inside he’s just gooey and sweet.”

Summary
As she gets closer, Tim is immediately drawn to her wide brown eyes; they are broadcasting her emotional state for everyone to see — some combination of eager and excited and nervous. The polar opposite of the cool and guarded expression he is careful to keep on his own face.
Angela turns to look at him, clearly trying to gauge his reaction before she whacks him with her bouquet and hisses, “That is your soon-to-be wife, Tim, not your new boot, so maybe chill out with the death glare. You shouldn’t be trying to intimidate her.”
Tim ignores her; he begs to differ. This woman is supposed to be his wife. Chosen by supposed experts to be his life partner, his perfect other half. He is sure as hell going to be assessing whether she measures up to his standards. The fact that he already knows all of this is bullshit honestly just makes him that much more inclined to prove it.
When she reaches the end of the aisle, she stops in front of him and tilts her head to smile up at him in this sweet, hopeful way that he simultaneously finds incredibly endearing and incredibly irritating — like he holds her fate in his hands, and she is counting on him not to f*ck it up.

Summary
“He works at Mid-Wilshire with my dad,” he whispers. “He’s a TO… or at least he was. I guess something happened and he was sent here to teach instead of training, though my father won’t tell me what. But it’s definitely a demotion, so I wouldn’t mess with him. He’s probably pissed about it and out to ruin our lives.”
Lucy chews thoughtfully on the end of her pen as she half listens, half wonders.
What could Officer Bradford have done to deserve a demotion?
And does she want to get on his bad side?
She kind of liked the spark she’d seen in him this morning, and the way he’d approached her and yelled at her had caused something warm and funny to happen in her belly.
She kind of wants to poke at him again, just to see what happens.

Summary
Lucy Chen had grown up in silk and shadow.
Born to a mother who clawed her way from death into power, she'd learned early that America in the 1920s didn't have room for girls like her: immigrant daughters raised in velvet prisons and taught to smile while the world tried to erase them.
Once every year, though, a stranger came to the door — timeless eyes, too-still posture, a voice like winter wrapped in velvet. Tim, the vampire who had saved her mother’s life, and the only person who ever looked at Lucy as though she mattered.
Now it's1936, and Vanessa has plans. Plans that would turn Lucy into a pawn and America into her battlefield. A forced marriage. A contract.
But before the cage closes, Tim returns.
He'd promised to keep her safe once. This time, she asks him to take her away, even if as his blood bag.
From a New York society that didn't welcome her to a hidden vampire manor in Whitby’s haunted woods, Lucy enters a world older than empires and sharper than hunger; into vampire courts, ancient rules, and slow-burn danger.
Freedom has teeth. So does love.
But Vanessa didn’t survive death just to be abandoned. And war — mortal and immortal — is coming.
