Cast into snow, she becomes a vampire lord's uncategorized wife.
Emma's husband abandons her in a deadly snowstorm, driving her to accept a live-in cook position at Lord Victor's estate. He soon offers marriage, pulling her into a manor governed by a merciless binary: every human is designated either blood source or bound servant. Because Emma occupies neither role, the ancient laws have no precedent for her existence, leaving her status perilously ambiguous. As she learns to manage an immortal household, the boundary between Victor's protection and his possession grows increasingly difficult to distinguish.
