To save the woman he loves, he may have to become the monster she fears.

In an unexpected twist, Axle Travers discovers that the renowned biotech corporation, Lifeblood of America, is operated by vampires. His reality becomes even more harrowing when a rogue military doctor abducts him, altering his DNA and transforming him into something beyond human. Although a groundbreaking vaccine ultimately saves his life by bestowing extraordinary powers, the journey to survival invariably leaves its mark.

Eight years later, Axle runs a PI firm in Asheville, chasing monsters in the shadows and burying the truth of what he’s become. Then Haley—his first love and the woman he never stopped wanting—walks back into his life. Fresh from a failed marriage, caring for her dying mother, and reeling from a hurricane, she now faces something far worse: a stalker the police can’t stop.

Axle takes the case, but their fragile reconnection fractures when he discovers her stalker is no longer human. And the secrets behind his own transformation are rising, threatening to destroy everything he’s built.

To save Haley, Axle must decide whether to hide the monster inside him… or risk everything by revealing it, hoping their bond is strong enough to survive what waits beyond the darkness.

Because in a world where monsters wear human faces, the most dangerous one may be the man she trusts with her life.
