In a world of ancient grudges and hidden magic, Angela Meadowbrook, a fiery and skilled archer, finds herself at the center of a deadly game of revenge. Her father, the ruthless and cunning Meadowbrook, has made many enemies - including Zayden, a wealthy and mysterious young man who has been secretly plotting his vengeance for years.

Zayden, driven by a burning desire for retribution, infiltrates the Meadowbrook household by becoming Angela's bodyguard. As they spend more time together, Angela finds herself falling deeply in love with the enigmatic Zayden, unaware of his true intentions.

But Zayden's feelings for Angela grow stronger with each passing day, threatening to upend his carefully laid plans. Torn between his loyalty to his family's memory and his love for the daughter of his sworn enemy, Zayden must confront the darkness within himself.

As the truth about Zayden's past and his connection to Meadowbrook begins to unravel, Angela is faced with an impossible choice: forgive the man she loves for his deception or turn her back on him forever.

Will Zayden and Angela find a way to overcome their differences and be together, or will the weight of their families' secrets tear them apart forever?

The Lady And Her Bodyguard

"Get away from me!" Shaun yelled, pressing his back against the cold, unforgiving wall.

"Is that it? Is that all you've got? Aren't you a vampire?" Zayden continued his advance, the room expansive and echoing with tension.

"That's why I'm telling you to..." Shaun trailed off, then scoffed, standing tall. "What the fuck do you even think you are? Vampires are more powerful than elves, you bastard orphan."

Zayden paused, dangerously close to Shaun now. A scoff escaped his lips, and a cruel amusement danced in his eyes. "You know me," he chuckled darkly.

"Of course I know you. Unlike the foolish Henry, I dig. The first time I laid eyes on you, you bore an uncanny resemblance to Kyrilia's late duke. It was too peculiar—your resemblance to him and your presence in the Meadowbrooks household. Naturally, I went digging, only to discover you are Zayden Weiner, not Zayden Michele as you told Henry."
