Raven has always felt like an outsider in her sleepy town of Dullsville. The Goth girl dreams of vampires and darkness while everyone else seems content with ordinary life. Then Alexander Sterling arrives and takes up residence in the long-abandoned mansion atop Benson Hill. The mysterious newcomer sparks rumors throughout town, but Raven sees something different in his pale features and secretive ways. She becomes determined to learn his secrets, drawn to his enigmatic presence like no one before. As Raven gets closer to Alexander, their attraction grows stronger. But Alexander only appears after sunset, and their budding romance brings complications Raven never expected. She must decide if Alexander can fulfill her deepest desires or if loving someone who exists in shadows will cost her more than she bargained for. Their connection deepens as night falls, but daylight always threatens to separate them again.
