Damon Hunter, tattooist at Hellfire Studios in the Vault, thanked the gods the night he was given the job and finally made a home for himself after many years on the road. It was miles away from his old nocturnal life where brotherhood and loyalty was the difference between living the eternal ride of your life or termination of the vampiric soul. A past that nobody knew about. Not even his sassy, stubborn beautiful witch Riley. The gods fated her to him of that he was sure. What were the chances that she showed up in his tattoo studio, on the other side of the world, after running from him five years ago? This time he was making damn sure she never raised that haughty eyebrow, and ran from him again. This time Damon would live up to his former name and hunt his prey, binding her soul to his and make damn sure that no man comes between what is his. What belongs to him. But when his former life that he chose to walk away from, lands at his door and pulls Riley into the darkness of his past, testing the very core of their relationship, Damon has to choose. Fight for his Luce Eterna or fight to keep his history where it belongs? Choices will be made. Memories will be reignited. The truth will test loyalty.
Riley Kelly gave up everything back in Ireland to start a new life under the Eternal City, in the Vault. Literally everything. Her job, her crappy old car and a sadistic black cat who never got the memo about being a familiar. And why? She had many friends in the vampiric underworld, she still gets to use her magic which was amazing. The cocktails in Nocturnal Sins were to die for, and she got a job in Obsidian Whispers where she could devour the latest dark romance novels for free. Ok. The main reason was the tall dark brooding, tattooed vamp that she once had history with. Yes they had epic history in another time, another place. And yes, admittedly she did run a week after they got engaged but never one to shout never say never, she was back and this time it was for good. All she wanted was to take it slow, see where this relationship went. Yet, the man she thought she knew has brought his own history and Riley is about to discover the Damon she remembered comes from a darker time and guess which awesome witch gets front row seats? But Riley is ready to be a part of it in whichever way she can. And if that means throwing herself into danger to help the man that stole her heart than so be it. Let magic meet the bad boy. She was more than ready.
