Humans. Vampires. God. Lucifer. One woman stands between them . . . And they all want her dead. Paresh Hawthorne returns to her childhood home never expecting to learn that her guardian uncle actually kidnapped her, or that the man who should have raised her, attorney Eric Ravenscroft, is an ageless Civil War veteran. Perhaps even more alarming is how Paresh affects Eric—her very essence both tames the vampiric beast within his heart . . . and calls to it. As Eric grapples with desire and unearthly urges, a cloaked man haunts Paresh’s dreams, and another threat appears in Jonathan, an ominous vampire with murky motives of his own. Mysteries and lies stack upon escalating threats—both human and vampire—and the danger builds into a situation beyond control. The Vampiric High Council’s Arch Elder has staked his interest in Paresh, and the grace of God may not be enough to protect her. If the fabled prophecy to redeem the Vampiric Nation is actually upon them, will their cold-hearted leader choose salvation . . . or order Jonathan to kill their savior in favor of destruction?
