Arabella Anthony has everything she’s ever wanted: money, power, and a place at the side of Tampa’s most eligible bachelor, Alejandro Guerrero. Sure he’s ruthless, manipulative, and controlling but he understands and values her – and her rare ability to see lies. A power some would do anything to possess and even more to control. When a chance meeting and a devastating loss force her to face the truth, she searches for a way out of the life she thought she wanted. But deception weaves a tangled web and Arabella realizes that sometimes the easiest person to lie to is yourself.

A danger to herself and others, Kyra Richards prefers to be left alone. Lured by the promise of a paycheck with more zeros than she’s seen in years, the private investigator is thrust into the vampire underworld and under the scrutiny of its iron-fisted ruler, Alejandro. Her best chance at weaseling her way into the enigmatic leader’s good graces: Daniel, a human who – despite being as damaged as she is – throws himself into life with an exuberance she both despises and envies. When a past she thought she’d escaped catches up with her, Kyra finds herself trapped between two lives, unsure who to trust. Drawn deeper into a world of power she’d never imagined, she struggles to control her abilities but under Alejandro’s dark guidance the guilt of her actions eats away at her sanity. As the fight against her dark nature intensifies, she realizes that sometimes in order to destroy a monster you must become one.
