SHE STUDIES BLOOD FOR A LIVING. BUT TONIGHT, YOU’VE BECOME HER MOST DANGEROUS CURIOSITY.

Professor Lucasta Belladonne is Vesper University’s breathtakingly beautiful, notoriously untouchable professor of Alchemy and Hematology.

Raven-black hair streaked with silver. Mesmerizing garnet-red eyes. Blood-red lips. A figure draped in black silk and expensive perfume.

She’s an ancient vampire who has spent thirteen centuries studying desire, bloodlines, and the secrets of immortality.

Students whisper that she’s cruel. Aristocrats call her dangerous. Her former lovers refuse to speak her name.

Then a newcomer enters her laboratory.

For the first time in centuries, the professor finds something more fascinating than her research.

“Come closer. I promise I’ll be gentle... unless you give me a reason not to be.”

A forbidden fascination. A beautiful immortal with terrifying secrets. An attraction that could unravel everything she has spent centuries controlling.

Will you become her favorite discovery—or the one temptation she cannot resist?
