When Jenny Cortado's car breaks down on a stormy night, she's trapped in the mysterious town of Beastly Falls—a place where humans and supernatural beings coexist, bound by a curse that only allows fated mates to enter.
She has one week to bond with her fated mate or be exiled from the town and doom her mate to eternal solitude. When a menacing werewolf demands she choose him as her mate, she's saved by a dangerously alluring vampire.
Rook Mullein, owner of the Midnight Brew tea shop, is a centuries-old vampire with secrets darker than the Assam he serves. As sparks of desire ignite between them, Jenny uncovers a sinister truth from Rook's past—he was once a ruthless hunter of humans, a monster driven by an insatiable thirst for blood and power.
As the curse tightens its grip, Jenny and Rook are caught in a web of danger, desire, and deception. Jenny must confront her own history of self-sabotage, pushing away those who get too close out of fear of heartbreak. With the fate of their love hanging in the balance, Rook must prove that he's not the monster he once was, but the hero Jenny needs him to be, and Jenny must learn to trust in their love and in herself.
