Marinette Dupain-Cheng has spent centuries hiding in the shadows, but pretending to be an ordinary college student might be her greatest challenge yet. When the sheltered but strangely irresistible new vampire, Adrien Agreste, stumbles into her world, Marinette’s carefully constructed façade starts to crack. As ancient secrets resurface and bloodlines are drawn, the line between predator and prey blurs. Between midnight lectures, cryptic memories, and a dangerously cute vampire who has no idea what he’s gotten himself into, Marinette might just discover that even immortals can't escape their past… or their feelings
