Chapter 1

Stefan knows better than to get too close-but with Klaus, distance is never that simple. Their history is tangled in blood, temptation, and a war of wills neither of them is willing to lose. But when Stefan starts to see the cracks beneath Klaus's armor, he pushes. And Klaus? He makes damn sure to push back.

Set in 1920s Chicago, this is a story about power plays, sharp words, sharp teeth, and two men who refuse to admit they might just need each other.
