Penelope Moss doesn't do vampires. She does Schedule C, depreciation schedules, and the unyielding logic of the tax code. So when her boss sends her to a gothic manor at midnight to audit a client who claims five centuries of capital gainsâand drinks something distinctly not wine from a crystal decanterâshe doesn't faint. She opens her laptop, clicks her pen, and informs Julian Thorne that the IRS has no checkbox for "undead" and his Renaissance receipts are an auditor's nightmare.
Julian has survived plague, war, and the fall of empires by hiding his hoard in iron boxes and human proxies. But the digital age has made privacy impossible, and the Criminal Investigation Division is circling. He needs someone who can translate half a millennium of wealth into language the government will accept. He didn't expect the woman who terrifies him to be five feet of razor-sharp competence in a navy blazer, utterly unimpressed by his fangs and entirely focused on his cost basis.
As Penelope builds a fortress of trusts, LLCs, and creative deductions around his immortal assets, the vampire who has outlasted kings finds himself dangerously captivated by the only human who treats his eternity like a line-item expense. But the IRS doesn't believe in monstersâonly unreported income. And when the audit notice arrives, the most dangerous thing in Julian's vault isn't his thirst. It's the woman willing to go to war with the federal government to keep him out of the light.
