The rushed tutorial that revealed all this left me with a million unanswered questions about how they altered the planet—and me.

It's time to bite back. As a dhampir, a vampire's only predator, that's exactly what I plan to do. Unfortunately, a rescue mission turns into crap, and my blood source sacrifices himself to save me. So, after getting caught for breaking the law, I’m now an unwilling participant in the Blood Match Program - and the Royale brothers, a vampire coven, think they can make me their personal donor because I’m a criminal. Me, satiating a coven’s blood hunger? Not happening. I’m a rebel after all.

Who knew our enemies could be good? Not me. Unfortunately, it’s because our allies suck. The Universe works in mysterious ways. Or maybe it was never the Universe. Maybe it was a vampire. Yeah, it was definitely a vampire - Orlando. He’s dangerous. Conniving. Manipulative. Annoyingly hot. And now I owe him. Great. But I’ll do anything for Kingston, Diego, and Austin. The truth of my existence leaves us scrambling to make sense of our lives. Because who I am jeopardizes everything we know. Turns out, vampires aren’t the only predators. Now, there’s me.

One donor to three vampires. A promise of forever. But what if forever doesn’t come? I was certain that I would spend the rest of my life with the three vampires I’m madly in love with. I had my heart set on being a Divine. I gave up everything I knew as a donor to assure it. But as it turns out, I knew nothing as a donor. I still don’t know anything. I’m not even sure I know myself. Because of this, I might be a traitor to humanity, and rebel humans want me dead. As lines blur between who I can and can’t trust, I struggle to adapt to a life of freedom.

I knew I’d spend the rest of my life as the blood source to a vampire. What I didn’t expect was to fall for one, let alone three. Together, they’re my three perfect vampire matches and the only future I want. Austin’s my blood. Diego’s my mind. Kingston’s my body. And the Divine brothers will do anything to guarantee I never have to choose.

Fernando Fuerte is a total player. In every sense of the word. He's star forward for the Sharks, the pro soccer team where I handle PR. And I don't care if Mr. Match says he's my soulmate. I don't date players. But when my brother tells me there's no way Fuerte would ever go out with me anyway? All bets are off. I'll score him just to prove a point. Because if there's one thing I hate more than players? It's losing. The problem is, the closer I get to Fuerte, the closer I get to losing my heart.

The only thing in the universe I’m certain of is my Blood Matching to my three perfect vampires. And Kingston, Diego, and Austin will do anything to see to it that I have forever with them. I want it so badly that it hurts. But I should be used to not getting everything I want. With the rising threat of our enemies, even our allies start to question my worth as a future Divine Heir and how much trouble I am. Because the future of the Blood Match Program shouldn’t have fallen in a donor’s hands.

When Kaiden Hart, the captain of the Charleston Coyotes hockey team, comes to my aid in an emergency, it's the first time I've seen him since I was a young girl. And boy, have the years been kind to him. When he invites me out to dinner, accepting seems like the polite thing to do. At least that's what I tell myself.

Who cares if he's got chiseled abs and a rear end I could bounce a quarter off of?
