Desire Withheld
A vampire empire. A dangerous attraction. A secret neither can survive.
Caleb Weiss controls one of the most powerful vampire empires in New York City. His club, DejaVu, caters to the city's elite, where secrets are currency and danger hides behind every smile.
Emily Castle, the daughter of Caleb's long time rival, walks into Caleb's club expecting a new experience. What she gets instead is Caleb. Drawn together by a connection neither of them fully understands, they find themselves caught between rival empires, dangerous enemies, and a bond that threatens everything Caleb has built.
