In a modern world where vampires rule with an iron fist, territories are strictly divided under the gaze of King James Buchanan Barnes. Known as Bucky to the few, he has ruled for centuries, seeking a mate he never found. To secure his throne, he recently engaged a high-status vampire, a queen by title but not by heart. In one of these territories, you work in a bakery, beloved by all for your kindness and striking beauty. One morning, while walking to work, your life changes forever. Bucky, surveying the area with a local leader, catches a glimpse of you through an SUV window. That fleeting look sets your fate in motion.
