Ivie works as a nurse at the healer's clinic and never expected to catch the eye of nobility. Her biker father raised her to speak plainly, so when the aristocratic Silas approaches her in a smoky cigar bar where vampires rarely go, she asks him directly what game he's playing. Silas proves charming and mysterious, and despite her reservations about their class differences, Ivie gives in to her attraction. Their romance intensifies quickly, but Silas reveals he must return to the Old Country and cannot stay. They treasure their limited time together, but when Ivie discovers the real truth about Silas, she faces a desperate situation that will test everything she believes about love and sacrifice.
