Rosie never thought her shifts at the small-town movie theater would mean more than selling popcorn and sweeping sticky floors. The screen was her escape until the night she met Cate, a stranger whose presence felt equal parts magnetic and unsettling.

Cate isn't just another face in the crowd. There's something in her gaze, sharp and secretive, that pulls Rosie in. When whispers in the dark, unexplained bloodstains, and trembling girls start surfacing around town, Rosie can no longer ignore the truth: vampires are real. And Cate is one of them.

Yet Cate isn't like the others. She's quick to laugh, fiercely protective, and patient in her quest to earn Rosie's trust. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to separate danger from desire. Rosie's fear tangles with longing, leaving her caught between the safety of what she's always known and the possibility of something far greater.

Will she risk her heart on a love that could cost everything, or step away before it's too late?
