Good Lord. Something wasn't right with him at all. He grabbed her upper arms. Amelia cried out in alarm. She tried to pull out of his grasp, but he was too strong. Hands as unyielding as iron bands clamped tighter around her and brought her closer. Amelia shrieked, wide-eyed, frozen in fear as he drew her right up against him. "Oh, God. No!" He turned his sweaty, battered face toward her throat. Sucked in a sharp breath as he neared her, his lips brushing her skin. "Shhh." Warm air skated across her neck as he spoke in a low, pained rasp. "I won't... not going to... hurt you. I promise... " Amelia heard the words. She almost believed them. Until that split second of terror, when he parted his lips and sank his teeth deep into her flesh. ~~~ Damien Monroe is the CEO of Centuries holding company, with his power and accumulated money comes great fame and even more success for him. He has anything he wants and can get anything he needs even just by a snap of his fingers. But what people don't know is that the sought after successful entrepreneur has a terribly dark secret. A secret he has managed to keep for years from the public and people in his close circle. Damien is a charming CEO by day but a beast who feeds on the crimson that flows through the veins of humans by night. Belonging to the clan of pure breed and royal vampires he has many gifts and walking in the daylight is one of them. Amelia Steele isn't what he needs but she's certainly what he gets. She is accepted at his company as his personal assistant on an emergency and he has no choice but to keep her, she is way competent than the ones he's had but that's not why he's keeping her. She has a lure to her, with her clumsiness comes fascination and a need to have her, but with one incautious irresistible kiss Damien binds Amelia to himself for eternity and they  are both plunged into a world of danger, passion, and betrayal… Would Amelia still love him when she knows of his true beastly nature?
