Redefining Love Series Book 1: Lost in Love

Declan Rayne

Vienna trusts facts, formulas, and control—the kind you can measure. Dominic Blackwood is the variable she never planned for: powerful, patient, and persistent in a way that feels dangerous.

What starts as a spark ignites fast. Vienna resists with logic and caution. Dominic doesn’t force his way in—he earns it, inch by inch, until her walls start to cave.

Then one moment shatters everything.

And when Vienna’s world turns dark and the consequences get real, Dominic doesn’t disappear. He stays. He fights. He proves he doesn’t want a win.

He wants her.

But when her father forces her to attend the ball, she meets Vladimir Karatza, King of All Vampires, and their attraction is undeniable. He instantly claims her as his mate, but Amelia is resistant, her secrets and pain causing her monster inside to appear and drive a wedge between anyone who tries to get close. But Vladimir is determined to do anything so he can conquer her hardened heart, that is until her secrets lead him deeper into danger and reveal a past he knew nothing of, one that lays bear the power behind Amilia’s captivating sapphire eyes that, like her, he can’t resist.

So now Lilly’s got a gorgeous, rule-breaking adult shadowing her hallways, a rich gym boy watching her like he already owns the view, and bullies who love an audience.
