[18+ MATURE CONTENT: Contains dark themes, high-intensity passion, and possessive paranormal romance.] Four years ago, Elena was just a human assistant completely infatuated with her powerful, cold-blooded boss—Alexander Sterling, the hidden King of the vampire coven. But when a ruthless political marriage demanded he take a pureblood Queen, Alexander ruthlessly tossed Elena aside. He handed her a non-disclosure agreement, a massive check, and rejected her without ever looking her in the eye. Heartbroken and broken-spirited, Elena vanished to a quiet coastal town to rebuild her life. But she didn't leave alone. She took a massive secret with her: she was pregnant with Alexander’s child. Now, four years later, a deadly rogue vampire attack forces Alexander right to her doorstep. When he discovers the fragile, dark-haired four-year-old boy hiding behind her has his exact icy gray eyes and a booming royal aura, the ruthless King refuses to let them go. Dragged back to the luxurious, dangerous Sterling Estate, Elena finds herself trapped in a gilded cage. She must survive a psychotic pureblood Queen who wants her child dead, all while fighting the sinful, dark obsession that still burns between her and the billionaire vampire who tore her heart out. Alexander broke her once. He claims he did it to protect her life. But as his fangs brush against her skin and his hands grip her hips with dark, absolute possession, Elena vows one thing: He can lock her in his castle, but she will never belong to the Sovereign again.
