This wasn't the kind of excitement she signed up for. Olivia Cooper is a struggling actress who wished for something new in life. When she's kidnapped and brought to New York by a group of vampire fanatics claiming she's the key to helping further their goals, she wonders if she jinxed herself. She meets a mysterious, maroon-eyed man who tells her nothing is as it seems-right before she's rescued by the handsome vampire warrior, Julian Fairfax. When Julian finds his lifemate, alive and unharmed in his city due to Lucia's machinations, he knows it's not a gift but instead the beginning of her next round of mind games. As he struggles with the cold darkness Lucia woke in him from their last encounter, he worries that not even Olivia's warm embrace can thaw the icy magic awakening within him. Darkness closes in on their closest allies, and monsters unseen for a thousand years stalk the night. Can Julian master his wintry magic to protect those he loves? He knows one thing for sure-the corrupted Vampire Queen isn't done with him yet.
