To save my sister, I'll sacrifice my blood and my future to the heir to the vampire throne.

Ever since the fall of the human race, survival has meant making yourself indispensable to one of its new masters. The vampires thirst for our blood, but at a terrible price. The wolves grow desperate for healthy female hosts. And then there are the fae, who want us for their own wicked purposes.

The vampire lords in their cold stone castles took everything from my family. Now with my father gone and my mother lost to the ravages of blood addiction, I have to find a way to obtain the expensive medicines my sister needs.

I strike a bargian wiht the most ruthless vampire of them all, Crown Prince Alexander.

Neither of us anticipates the connection that forms. Every taste of my blood, every stolen kiss I know I shouldn't allow, buys my sister a few more days. Every time Alex feeds from me, the bond between us grows harder to sever.

A prince cannot marry a commoner--and I refuse to allow myself to become his prisoner. His royal court will ensure I disappear if they discover the truth--that he has somehow ensnared my heart.

The only problem is Prince Alexander.

He has no intention of letting me go.
