For 220 years, Kaelen Thorne, a British vampire with a refined taste for tainted souls, has thrived in the shadows of London before relocating to the glittering depravity of Los Angeles. There, he owns Crimson, a notorious nightclub catering to the city's dark underbelly, a veritable buffet for his unique appetite. Kaelen's gift allows him to smell the purity or corruption within a soul, and he only feeds from the tainted, a twisted form of justice in his immortal existence. He's a predator, honed and controlled, living a life of strategic indulgence until she walks in.
Eleanor. An ethereal beauty with a face like a cherub, she radiates an innocence that captivates Kaelen instantly. He's mesmerized, borderline obsessed, by the intoxicating aroma of her soul - lilies and sunshine, the purest he's ever encountered. She's everything he shouldn't desire, a beacon of light in his darkness. Kaelen finds himself torn between the primal urge to possess and protect. But this isn't just a predator and prey scenario; Eleanor's purity has awakened a long-dormant part of him, offering a different kind of sustenance, a hunger that blood can't satisfy. This angelic human may be Kaelen's salvation, or his ultimate downfall.
