Ava McGuire should be dealing with moving on after her devastating breakup. Instead, she's been thrust into the world of paranormal. As if learning that your best friend is mated to a serial killer vampire wasn't bad enough, she learns she has her own vampire mate.

Valen has been held prisoner for longer than he can fathom. The human world is vastly different than the one he was taken from centuries ago. For starters, there are tall buildings and places that claim to make your lunch in under five minutes. He's having to relearn the world around him while navigating the complicated urge to claim his mate while also being wary of touch after being held captive.

Ava and Valen, with the help of their friends, are trying to get to the bottom of what's really going on in Chicago. All the rain, all the paranormals showing up, and what was the true reason Valen was taken all those years ago?

Ava herself just might be the key to it all. Turns out, she's not some simple human, she's the last of the line of one of the most powerful witch families to ever exist.
