Lillian isn’t Not Like Other Girls. She has a normal job and a normal life in a normal city, and wants the same stuff everyone seems to want: true love, a couple of kids, a cozy place to live with decent water pressure, and the occasional girls’ night out. Unfortunately, her boyfriend has just turned out to be a cheating loser, she’s burned her couch in a fit of rage, she’s not getting any younger, and most of the items on her list now seem unattainable. To make matters worse, ever since she met this smoking hot guy on her lunch break she’s feeling like total crap and having the weirdest dreams. What even is real anymore? Maybe she really does need a vacation. And a new couch. What she definitely doesn’t need is another relationship.
Zef may look like your average smoking hot European billionaire, but in reality he is a Lilin, one of a secret race of immortal supernatural beings who feed on emotional energy. When he happens upon Lillian in a cafe he can’t believe his luck: not only is she a Nara–a hybrid human able to breed with Lilin and unlock their full magical potential–she is also his True Mate, fated by the Mother Goddess to be his soul’s perfect companion. All he has to do is convince her to magically bond with him and agree to stay with him for eternity. Easy, right? Except that Nara are much in demand within secret immortal supernatural circles, and he’s not the only one who has noticed her. Zef isn’t a Growly Possessive Alpha Male, but he will endure whatever hardships are necessary to protect Lillian and win her love, including random acts of experimental jazz accordion.
