One silly mistake almost costs her her life, and in an attempt to escape the vampire king, she realizes she's accidentally bound them together, if he dies, she does too. Rhea wants nothing to do with the king, but when her life is threatened, she'll stop at nothing to save herself, even when it means saving the one person she hates the most. As they begin to spend more time together and conquer quests, the line between love and hate begins to blur. Will Rhea stay true to her course, or fall for the vampire king along the line?

Gaia’s life was shattered when her father, a cop, was murdered in cold blood. Sworn to avenge his death, she was later taken in and raised by another cop in a different city, who became her father figure. Determined to follow in her late father’s footsteps while secretly pursuing her vow of justice, Gaia enrolls in an elite academy that trains future detectives and FBI agents.

During her training, she gets into a fight and as punishment is assigned an unusual task: acting as the bodyguard to a professor who has reported being stalked. Gaia doesn’t want the assignment—but everything changes when she discovers that the professor, Maxim, is the same man she had a one-night stand with.

Maxim is brilliant, young, and irresistibly attractive—but he has secrets of his own. Adopted by a mafia underboss, he has been unwillingly pulled into the family’s dark world, helping his father cover his tracks as a lawyer.

As Gaia and Maxim’s relationship grows, passion sparks into something deeper. But when Gaia uncovers the horrifying truth—that Maxim’s adoptive father was responsible for her father’s murder, and that Maxim himself unknowingly helped cover it up—their romance is threatened by betrayal, vengeance, and the dangerous ties that bind them both.

Now Gaia must choose between love and justice, knowing that either decision could destroy her.
