Jenna Skye, the new Duchess of House Lilith, is losing her mind. After spending eight months holed up in the duke’s manor with her new sire, the slightly nutty and ever moody Ursula, all she wants to do is to get out of the house. She’ll take any excuse she can to ditch the princess’s etiquette lessons and do something worthwhile with her time—even if it means visiting a fancy blood finishing school where one of Dante’s potential scions has gone missing.

If Jenna helps him protect Ursula, he will keep her darkest secret and put in a good word with the adoptive sire the queen assigns to her.
