Lorraine Peters flees to the mountains after losing her family, seeking solitude to process her grief and rage. She discovers three attackers beating a helpless man and intervenes without hesitation. The victim is Andor Katona, a Carpathian who has lived as a monk for centuries, unable to locate his destined lifemate. He had nearly accepted death at the hands of vampire hunters who mistook him for their quarry until Lorraine's fierce arrival changed everything. Andor immediately recognizes Lorraine as his lifemate through their instant connection, but convincing her of their supernatural bond proves challenging. Lorraine possesses a dangerous mix of intelligence and bravery that draws unwanted attention from a master vampire. This ancient enemy has suffered his own irreplaceable loss and now targets Andor and his fellow Carpathians for revenge. As the master vampire prepares his assault, Andor must protect Lorraine while helping her understand their telepathic link and immortal destiny together.
