The Story:

Princess Penelope Lee has a secret—she once snuck into vampire territory and almost hooked up with a stranger at the notorious Whisper Club. Now that stranger is her bodyguard for her sister's wedding, and Dahlia St Clair hasn't forgotten a single thing about that night. As assassination attempts escalate and bodies start dropping, these natural enemies must work together to survive. But with every heated exchange and power play, the line between hate and desire blurs dangerously.

When you've spent centuries breaking brats, what happens when you meet the one who breaks you back?
