Description
For Penelope Lee, an upcoming royal wedding is supposed to be a spectacle of elegance and high-stakes social maneuvering. But when her assigned protector is brutally murdered on the eve of the ceremony, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with the last person on earth she expected: the dangerous, brooding Dahlia St. Clair.
As the commander of the vampire-hunter army, Dahlia has no patience for babysitting a pampered princess. She arrived at the wedding looking for a stiff drink and a little mischief, not to act as a permanent shadow to a woman she finds both infuriating and undeniably captivating. However, when the celebratory atmosphere is shattered by a web of deadly conspiracies, the friction between them shifts from cold hostility to a scorching, forbidden attraction.
What begins as a grudging professional arrangement quickly spirals into a tangle of stolen touches and hushed secrets. Bound by duty but tethered by an ever-growing desire, the two women are caught in a race against time as the wedding festivities turn treacherous. As the vows finally echo through the hall, Penelope and Dahlia must face the truth: was their passion just a fleeting spark amidst the chaos, or is their connection worth fighting to the death for?
