She knows what she is now. That makes her more dangerous — and more vulnerable — than ever.

Ana Belle arrives in Paris with a mission, a rival, and a secret her clan has been keeping for three hundred years.

The mission: a defector with documents that three factions would kill to possess. The rival: Lucian Vael, already installed in the city, already waiting, with coffee that hasn't gone cold and answers she didn't know she needed. The secret: everything Ana believes about her own nature is a carefully managed lie — and Paris is where the lie finally runs out of room.

Lucian is not her enemy. He stopped being her enemy somewhere between Nice and the city he claimed as his own. But he is not safe, and what is building between them is not safe, and the clan war they are both still fighting has an architect neither of them has named yet — someone older than the clans themselves, someone who has been running the conflict like a chess game for a hundred and forty years.

Someone who knows exactly what Ana is.

And who has been waiting for her to find out.

Paris will give Ana the truth about her nature, a researcher operating in the shadows, a defector playing four factions simultaneously, and the first real choice she has made in three centuries. It will also give her something she has not had since she stopped being human: a reason to want to survive what's coming.

The war has a face now.

So does she.

PARIS is the second book in the Ana Belle series — dark paranormal romance with escalating heat, a heroine becoming herself one devastating revelation at a time, and a love story that moves like architecture: slowly, structurally, and with the weight of something built to last.

For readers who stayed up too late finishing NICE and are not even slightly sorry.
