Falling in love with your crush, even if it’s another girl, should be a wonderful thing. It should open things up and allow you to reach those dreams and fantasies that have kept you up night after night for years. Even if the girl you’re crushing on is a vampire.

Except we got kidnapped. And tortured. And now I’m also a vampire.

My name is Penny, and I’m not the girl I used to be. I used to be human. I used to spend my time hiding from everyone. Now I’m a vampire and mated to Alissa, my super powerful mate. Now people hide from me.

Waking as a vampire was a surreal experience for me. I headed into death not expecting to be turned, yet I’m alive again and with the girl I love. Except now it’s time for me to begin to learn what it means to be a vampire.

All of those painful things I’ve seen Alissa go through? All of the things I’ve started to experience lately? Now I get to experience them on my own. It’s time for me to learn my place in our world. To earn my strength.

With Mistress Iva to train me and Alissa at my side, I can do this.

Except the world isn’t so open and shut. Sometimes it has different plans for you. For where things will go. And when the world turns and begins to grind my plans to dust, how do I fight back?

How do I not? I’m fighting for me. For Alissa. The girl I love. The new life I never knew I wanted. I’m not sure how to win, but I know I’ll go down swinging.
