She spent forty years learning to disappear. He made her visible to the world in a single night.
When graffiti artist Dante Reyes glimpses a woman on a neighboring rooftop, something in her stillness captures him completely. His hands move before his mind catches up, translating that fleeting moment into thirty feet of spray paint and obsession. By morning, the mural goes viral. By nightfall, the wrong people have noticed.
Lira hasn't been touched without violence in four decades. She's survived by becoming a ghost in her own city, feeding in shadows, speaking to no one. The vampire court she escaped believes her dead, and she's fought to keep it that way. Now her face blazes from a South Bronx rooftop, and the master who once owned her has finally found what he lost.
She should kill the artist. She should run. Instead, she finds herself drawn back to his rooftop night after night, watching him create, remembering what it felt like to be seen as something other than prey. When the court's enforcers close in, an uneasy alliance becomes something far more dangerous, a connection that threatens to undo every defense she's built.
But Lira's former master doesn't just want her back. He collects beautiful things, and an artist who can capture supernatural truth is rarer than she knows. To protect the man who painted her soul onto a wall, she'll have to face the monster who made her, and risk becoming the creature she's spent a century trying to forget.
A darkly seductive vampire romance for readers who like their monsters complicated and their love stories earned. Explicit content.
