In a town where nothing ever happens, the most dangerous man alive just pulled up to Pump Four.
Twenty-year-old Goldie is trapped in the amber of Anniston, Alabama. Her world is defined by the smell of unleaded gasoline, the hum of the Sunoco neon sign, and the relentless humidity of the South. She's a girl with big dreams and a dead-end reality, until a black vintage sedan rolls out of the midnight fog.
Tommy Tomitsa isn't just a stranger passing through. He is ancient, lethally beautiful, and radiates a cold, magnetic power that makes the air in the gas station shiver. He's a "true" vampire, a prince of a forgotten bloodline, seeking a sanctuary far from the politics of the Old World. He expected a quiet life in the shadows. He didn't expect the girl behind the counter with the sharp tongue and the eyes of a queen.
He's a monster to the world, but he's a gentleman to her.
As Tommy's presence triggers a series of dark "accidents" around town, the line between fear and desire begins to blur. Goldie should be running, but Tommy offers her something Anniston never could: a life that matters.
But Goldie has a secret buried in her own DNA, a lineage linked to the very folklore Tommy was born from. She isn't just a small-town girl caught in a predator's sights; she's the missing piece of a centuries-old puzzle.
From electric midnight shifts to a romance that defies the laws of the living, Goldie must decide if she's ready to trade her heartbeat for an eternal throne. In Tommy's world, love is a blood bond, and the wedding of the century is about to have a very high body count.
Forbidden Romance. Hidden Heritage. A Love to Die For. Welcome to Anniston. Try not to bleed.
