Prologue

The bustling metropolis of New York City is a world beyond the glitz and glamour of high-rise buildings and flashing lights, where darkness reigns and blood is currency. Among its inhabitants is Lucien Plourde, a young looking vampire and billionaire CEO who owns multiple five-star hotels and resorts around the world. Dressed impeccably in a black pinstripe three-piece suit, Lucien exudes an air of elegance and refinement. However, despite his agelessness, his existence has been solitary until Olivie Renaud comes along. Olivie, a chef at the Bronze Cosmos Hotel and Resort, is a petite woman with golden locks, azure eyes, and tanned skin. Her scent and voice draw Lucien in, and he finds himself unable to resist the pull of their forbidden love. Will Lucien be able to keep Olivie safe, or will their dangerous game lead to their destruction? This is a tale of bloodlust and romance in the supernatural world of New York City.
