Description
When Ruby Rahman runs away from the (fictitious) Middle Eastern country of Inevia to the United States to avoid an arranged marriage, instead of achieving the freedom she seeks, she finds herself trapped instead—in a house full of vampires. This “family” of attractive young vampires, known as the Scotts, don’t want to suck her blood. In fact, they have been taking care of Ruby since the accident she was involved in leaving the airport from Las Vegas. But when she tries to leave their house, they inform her that they’re going to have to kill her, before their leaders kill them for the crime of exposing her to the truth of their existence. The worst part of all: Ruby finds out that one who has been charged with the responsibility of killing her is William Scott, the most handsome vampire in the house, who has been sending her mixed messages since she arrived. She isn’t sure any more if running away from her father—and from a country where women are not respected—was such a smart idea. She might as well have stayed home and spent her life in a loveless marriage than be drained of her blood by a cold, heartless vampire like William. Caught between two worlds—Middle Eastern and Western, vampire and human—Ruby finds that there are aspects of her new life that both frightening and attractive. She fought hard to free herself from a culture where women’s opinions weren’t valued, and women’s bodies had to be covered at all times, but it seems that as soon as she’s won one battle, she’s facing another—this one, for her life. That’s because word of her living with vampires has reached the vampire leaders, and soon their council will decide her fate, as well as that of the Scotts. But will the world accept this illusion? Will Ruby ever gain real freedom and control over her life? Can William protect her from his leaders?
