Dawn Hendricks
Once upon a time, Dawn Hendricks wanted little more than the basics in life, like a loving family, a place to call home, and food to fill her belly. However, the comforts she came to wish for have long been forgotten. With all family buried and nothing to her name but a flimsy tent to sleep in, a pack of half-eaten donuts to quell starvation, and her precious hair as her only source of pride, Dawn simply wants to continue her existence without drawing attention to herself, but of course even that is too much to ask for. When she ends up assaulted and beaten within an inch of her life, her willingness to continue living fades.
As she lay praying for death, through with the accursed life she’d lived, she’s instead handed a silver lining in the form of Domitillio Daichi. Now saved from the terrible hands of fate, Dawn feels her luck has turned. That is until she notices the fear and reverence that crosses the eyes of his staff whenever she so much as speaks his name. Unfortunately for Dawn, she is about to find out the sweet Domi she’s grown to love and life as she knows it are not what they seem.
Domitillio Daichi
As a fire-wielding vampire who has walked this Earth for over five thousand years, there wasn’t much Domitillio Daichi hasn’t seen, heard, encountered, or experienced until he found her. On a snowy night in New York, the disgruntled Domitillio goes for a walk after a business deal gone wrong and stumbles across a sexual assault. Not one to care for the issues of humans, he attempts to walk away, but the brutally beaten beauty before him cools the fire in his veins, and stirs something in him he can’t quite discern.
Enamored and curious that a battered human could fuel a possessiveness he’s never felt, he takes her in, and finds their meeting was destiny. Consumed with an incessant desire, Domi stakes his claim, but in doing so, finds there is more to life and the woman he’s claimed. When unexpected foes arise intent upon taking what is his, the ruthless Vampire King will have to fight harder than he ever has before to keep the family he never realized he wanted, safe.
