About this ebook
Captured by vampires, Leyla, knows her fate.
She will be drained of blood completely—used as a food source.
She has only one wish before her demise.
Vengeance.
It's not in Coz's nature to have emotions.
So, why is he tempted to help the pretty little food source?
If he's caught, well, the vampires have punishments far worse than death.
Yet, she's so tempting...
