College romance meets Billionaires meets Vampires in a brand-new paranormal romance series from Sunday Times bestselling author Elena Armas, as an unsuspecting heiress with a target on her back enlists the protection of a vampire whose wealth and secrets rival her own.

Valle Cepeda's life changes drastically over the course of a winter break, when she goes from being an Ivy League scholarship student one day to inheriting a fortune from the mother she's never met by the next. The fate of Alma, a coveted fashion empire, is now in Val's hands.

Hadrian Cruz presents himself as a calculating, self-serving player in the game of who takes over Alma, but that isn't his true aim. A blood debt that chains him to a hundred-year-old wound is finally being collected, and it involves Val.

Furious at everyone who has tried to manipulate her, Val returns to Icarus University, only to see her world has changed shape dramatically, and Hadrian is now at the center of it. She doesn't trust him, but there are things only Hadrian can provide: protection, and a way to satiate the longing she craves more than fears.

Plagued by nightmares, can Val decipher the secrets of her legacy? And can she accept that what she feels for Hadrian runs deeper than attraction? Answers always come at a cost, and these could shatter her heart...or bind her soul to the monster she desires the most.

Elena Armas is a Spanish writer, a self-confessed hopeless romantic, and a proud book hoarder. Now, she's also the author of global bestseller and Goodreads Awards Winner The Spanish Love Deception; instant New York Times bestsellers The American Roommate Experiment and The Long Game; and USA Today bestseller The Fiancé Dilemma. Her books have also made it into the Sunday Times, Irish Times, Globe and Mail, Toronto Star and Germany's Spiegel and have been translated into over 30 languages - which is bananas, if you ask her.
