Rafe Hamilton was taught to be a stone-cold killer by his vampire maker, Genesis.
Turned in nineteenth-century New York by a vampire who believed humans existed to be hunted and always killed, Rafe spent years taking blood without remorse—until one death became impossible to forget. And a voice in his head won’t go away.

Rafe Hamilton was taught to be a stone-cold killer by his vampire maker, Genesis.
Turned in nineteenth-century New York by a vampire who believed humans existed to be hunted and always killed, Rafe spent years taking blood without remorse—until one death became impossible to forget. And a voice in his head won’t go away.
He fled to New Orleans with a question no vampire had ever taught him to ask: Did he truly need to kill to survive? A powerful witch gave him an answer, but control came slowly. Painfully. And never without temptation. And then he was cursed to burn for it unless he brings the witches what they want.
Now, Rafe is desperate to break the curse and builds Serenity Sanctuary to find the prize.
Serenity Sanctuary is an exclusive wellness retreat hidden along the California coast, offering wealthy guests privacy, luxury, and thirty days of perfect escape. But Serenity has another darker purpose and it’s all about blood. Rafe is searching desperately for what he needs.
Then Romy Hale steps through his doors.
An unemployed journalist, broke, and desperate for a fresh start, Romy can hardly believe her luck when she wins a fully paid month at Serenity Sanctuary. She expects massages, ocean views, and a chance to figure out what comes next.
She does not expect Rafe Hamilton.
He’s elegant, secretive, dangerously magnetic—and far too interested in her. Almost as much as she is interested in him.
The closer Romy gets to uncovering Serenity's secrets, the harder it becomes for Rafe to remember exactly why he spent so long learning control.
He was once a monster. He believes he changed.
Romy Hale may be the woman who finally proves whether that's true.
