Desperate to save her family from drowning in debt, Aurelia accepts a high paying nursing position in a secluded Italian town she has never heard of. The offer comes from a mysterious woman who makes it clear that Aurelia has only one job: to keep the woman’s brother alive for as long as possible. Simple enough, right? At least, that’s what Aurelia thinks. Until she meets him. A hauntingly handsome billionaire with a heart frozen by grief and a dangerous family secret. Her new patient isn’t sick in any way modern medicine can explain. He’s a man who has lived for centuries, a creature of the night who is slowly running out of time. And according to an ancient law, there is only one way to save his life. He must marry. But after losing the woman he loved centuries ago, he's sworn never to give his heart to another. He would rather face death than betray the memory of his first love. Unfortunately for him, death is no longer a choice. And Aurelia is about to become his only chance at survival. When the desperate billionaire’s sister offers Aurelia an outrageous sum of money in exchange for marrying her brother under a contract, Aurelia sees a way to finally save her family. She doesn’t need his love, and he certainly doesn’t want hers. Their arrangement is simple: she plays the devoted wife, keeps her family out of debt, and when the contract ends, he gets to live while Aurelia returns home. No feelings. No questions about his past. And absolutely no falling in love. But living under the same roof as a dangerously handsome vampire proves far more complicated than Aurelia ever imagined. Behind his icy gaze lies a grief so deep it threatens to consume them both. The more she discovers about the woman who once owned his heart, the more Aurelia realizes that she may be nothing more than a replacement for a ghost. His heart begins to beat for her in ways neither of them can explain. She married him to save his life. He married her to escape death. Neither expected love to become their greatest curse.
