For centuries, Callum "Cal" Reed has lived in the shadows, a vampire bound by ancient laws that dictate every aspect of his existence. Cold, calculated, and devoted to order, Cal has become one of the deadliest enforcers among his kind, upholding the strict Code that keeps vampires hidden from human society. But when a rogue vampire begins a spree of bloodshed, threatening to expose the entire world of the undead, Cal is sent on a mission to eliminate the threat… until an unexpected complication arises.

Enter Finnian "Finn" Caldwell—a vampire hunter with a sharp tongue, a relentless drive, and a knack for making every tense moment feel like a twisted joke. Finn's dry humor and calm disregard for danger put him at odds with Cal from the start, sparking a rivalry neither of them saw coming. Yet when Finn is unexpectedly drawn into the rogue's deadly game, their fates become intertwined in ways neither could predict. Even worse? Finn has somehow been infected with vampire blood, sparking a transformation he can't control.

Now bound by duty—and by a connection that grows harder to deny—Cal finds himself forced to train Finn in the ways of the vampire, teaching him to suppress his new instincts while fighting against the powerful pull they feel toward each other. With a deadly rogue vampire closing in, the pair must work together to unravel a conspiracy that could shake the vampire world to its core. But as forbidden attraction and unresolved tensions begin to blur the lines between hunter and prey, Cal and Finn must face the ultimate question:

Can they survive each other… or will their midnight pact end in betrayal?
