Clive MacGregor has spent years trying to survive the love he left behind.

Once, there was Elliot Windsor: brilliant, tender, and bright enough to make even the darkest rooms feel survivable. Elliot was not simply Clive’s first great love. He was home, heart, and the one person Clive never truly stopped reaching for.

Then there was Pierre Lector.

Beautiful. Powerful. Dangerous.

Together, Clive, Elliot, and Pierre became something intoxicating and impossible: a love triangle without clean edges, a three-way relationship built from desire, devotion, secrecy, and control. For a while, it felt like fate. Then Pierre’s violence turned love into captivity, and Clive fled for his life—devastated by what he had to do, haunted by the one person he could not take with him.

Elliot.

Years later, when Elliot is murdered, Clive is dragged back into the world he barely escaped: a world of aristocratic monsters, gilded lies, political power, old bloodlines, and family secrets sharp enough to kill.

And this time, grief does not send him running.

It sends him hunting.

But Clive is not the only one carrying a ghost.

Claire Moraine has spent years smiling beside the very family she suspects destroyed her brother, playing the loyal daughter while grief sharpens into strategy. Serena Alistair, a fearless journalist with a reputation for exposing powerful men, is chasing a story no one wants told—a story that keeps leading her back to the Lectors, to Elliot’s death, and to a conspiracy buried beneath wealth, philanthropy, and blood.

From London’s midnight streets to Parisian salons, from the Loire Valley to the glittering halls of Versailles, Clive, Claire, and Serena are pulled into the same dangerous truth: the House of Lector has been hiding in plain sight for centuries, and love may be the only thing powerful enough to expose what darkness built.

Clive must face the truth of Pierre’s cruelty, the cost of leaving Elliot behind, and the part of himself he has spent years trying to outrun.

Because Clive is not merely a survivor.

He is a MacGregor.

And when wolves remember who they are, even vampires learn to fear the dark.
