Colton has spent centuries alone, a vampire marked by the rare gift of fire. Hunted by Isolde a predator who collects the powerful like trophies he hides in plain sight as a foreign exchange student on a soccer scholarship in North America. On the field he passes as ordinary, but off it everything changes when he meets Tanya, a sharp-minded tutor and athletic trainer whose easy warmth cuts through his carefully built walls.
Tanya doesn’t just see a clumsy athlete. She notices the quiet shadows in his eyes, the secrets he doesn’t speak aloud. Their connection deepens faster than Colton expects, and with it comes danger he can no longer outrun. As Isolde closes in, Tanya’s life becomes leverage, forcing Colton to confront the choice he’s avoided for centuries.
He craves the simple life she offers. But destiny and blood have other plans.
When the final whistle blows, will Colton fight for love or vanish into the dark?
