Willow Faron was a girl with big dreams. She dreams of helping people and making sure they would come home to their parents after helping them at her clinic in Portland, Oregon. But the day after she opened her clinic/home, she found it robbed, and her robber was a vampire. 

Caught between two worlds and forced to serve the vampire as their only human doctor under a Blood Oath, Willow’s dreams have turned away with the setting sun. Only the vampire in question draws her further and further into the Underground, a fantastical world where myths and fairy tales come to life.

And what’s more, Willow doesn’t want to say no.

***
Heaven help her. 

Willow didn’t know what came over her. She didn’t know why she did why she pressed her palm against Lilith, and ‘kissed’ her.

Was it the night's events making her frisky? Or was it simple desire?

Willow didn’t know, and she didn’t care.

“Willow, wait!” Lilith cried, though her progress was hampered by the morning sun. She was stuck inside of Willow’s broken clinic, unable to leave while Willow strode to the sidewalk. 


“Stay there!” Willow returned. “This isn’t your problem!”


“Like h*ll it is!” Lilith returned. “Willow, please just wait! We can figure this out! At least let me get a few friends of mine, they can help you! Will you please stop being so stubborn and let me do this for you?!”


At that, Willow paused as the familiar flame of anger filled her soul before she continued to march forward, ignoring Lilith’s cries. She hated this. She hated when people “helped” her.


“Willow!” her best friend cried. “Please, let me do this for you!” 


“No freaking way, Mary!” Willow returned with crossed arms. “There is no way I’m letting you take all the credit!”
