Professor Maddoxx Blackwell is the man I was never supposed to fall in love with. He's mysterious, distant, and far too dangerous for someone like me. But when I accidentally discover the secret he's kept hidden for centuries, I realize there's more to my professor than meets the eye. He's a vampire. And now that I know the truth, Maddoxx gives me a choice: keep his secret and walk away—or make an agreement that will bind me to him. I choose him. But becoming his comes with a price. Because behind Professor Maddoxx's door lies a world of blood, desire, secrets, and a love that may cost me my humanity.

Born an orphan, Saraya has spent her life being treated as an outcast. Taken in by a noble family, she becomes nothing more than a servant, enduring humiliation and cruelty from the very people who gave her a roof over her head. To them, her unusual hair is an ill omen, a mark of misfortune that makes her unworthy of kindness. Saraya has learned to survive in silence. Until she catches the attention of the kingdom’s most feared wizard. He is ruthless, powerful, and infamous for his forbidden magic. The Royals calls him a monster. The nobles pray never to cross his path. And the kingdom knows him as the villain who would sooner watch the world burn than bow to anyone. Yet, for reasons Saraya cannot understand, the wizard takes an interest in her. She is nothing but a servant with no fortune, no family, and no place in society. He is a man whose name alone inspires terror. They belong to two different worlds, and yet something about her draws him closer. But Saraya soon discovers that being noticed by the most dangerous man in the kingdom is far more terrifying than being hated by everyone else. Because the wizard has secrets buried in blood and darkness, and Saraya may be the only person capable of awakening the monster within him—or the only one who can save him from it. And when the kingdom discovers whom the villain has chosen to love, Saraya must decide whether to run from the man everyone fears or become the one person who dares to stand beside him. After all, she was his greatest weakness.

In a kingdom where noble daughters are raised to become the pride of their families, one girl is born as an embarrassment. She is the unwanted daughter of a powerful noble family, constantly overshadowed by her beautiful and beloved half-sisters. Her existence is tolerated only because of her father's name, but she has never been treated as someone worthy of love. When the royal decree arrives demanding thirteen brides for the cursed Lord of the North, her family sees an opportunity to finally get rid of her. She is selected as the thirteenth bride.
