A cardiologist faces an attraction with an uncanny edge

Sean has built her life around medicine, close relationships, and recovery from an abusive past. As an interventional cardiologist—and the only woman and Black doctor in that role at her hospital—she has reasons to be wary of the power dynamics surrounding romance. Julian, eleven years younger, unsettles those defenses: his unusual depth and sorrow, Sean’s troubling symptoms, and the sense that he may be more than human bind attraction to a growing mystery. The novel combines contemporary romance with paranormal elements, using an age-gap relationship to explore vulnerability, desire, and the fear of losing control. Its central question is not only whether Sean should trust Julian, but what kind of being she is falling for.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in contemporary romance with paranormal elements.
  • Readers who enjoy age-gap and mortal/immortal romance tropes.
  • Readers drawn to romance that includes medical work and recovery from an abusive relationship.

Book overview

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

"I'm obsessed." --Ali Hazelwood

"One of the most compelling dark romances I've read in ages." - Tia Williams

What my eyes are showing me can't be possible. Can't be real. Because if they are, then I have to accept that Julian Conrad has been alive for a very long time.

Too long to be human.

A stay-up-all-night, smart, spicy romance following a doctor who finds herself falling for an alluring, much-younger man with a deadly secret


Sean's not in the market for love. The only female, let alone Black, interventional cardiologist at her hospital, she's watched too many of her male colleagues divorce their first wives to marry younger models--and then there's the abusive relationship she's spent the better part of her early 30s healing from. Her passions are reserved for her best friend, her goddaughter, and her job.

Then she meets Julian. Brooding, beautiful and eleven years her junior. In short: A bad idea.

Julian pursues her in a way that sets off alarm bells in her mind, but she finds herself unable to resist their undeniable chemistry--even starts fantasizing about him in dreams that feel altogether too real. They also have a lot in common despite their age gap. So, to hell with it: If men can date younger, why can't she? But the more Sean gets to know him, the more impossible Julian seems: He has a depth and sorrow to him that's beyond his years, and sometimes there's a look in his eyes that's less than human, and leaves her feeling more like prey. Plus, Sean herself has been exhibiting odd symptoms--memory lapses, a lack of restraint that's unlike her, persistent exhaustion--that all trace back to Julian, making Sean feel more than a little afraid. Who--or what--is she falling, irrevocably, in love with?

Extraordinarily transfixing, suspenseful, and addictive, Die for Me is nothing short of a seduction.

Tropes:
- paranormal romance
- age-gap
- mortal/immortal
- forbidden love
