She found herself paying the debt off to keep her father safe, but she was putting herself in danger on a daily basis.

He was the one that she had to plead with when the money ran short one month and now Mathew wanted more than just her money. He wanted her body as well. Clara has to find a way out of this mess. The answer comes when a man she doesn't know offers her help. Michael tries to convince her that he's only trying to help, but Clara suspects that he wants something more. She's heard the rumors. She knows what he is, but none of that stops her from feeling more than she is supposed to for her savior. Things get out of hand and Clara is once again in way over her head. She finds herself in the middle of a blood feud that she wants no part of. Clara doesn't have a choice but to get dragged into it. She won't be coming out the other side unscathed.
