Part of Argeneau, book 4
First published 2004
Terri arrives from England to help plan her cousin's wedding. Hotel costs in New York would drain her bank account, so she accepts an offer to stay with the bride's new family. The Argeneaus turn out to be an unusual group. Lucern writes vampire romance novels and swings between cheerful and moody. Vincent performs on stage as a theatrical Dracula who sings and dances with wild energy. Then Terri meets Bastien. He towers over the others and carries himself with dark intensity that draws her attention immediately. Something about his presence awakens desires she has kept carefully hidden. When he looks at her, she feels ready to abandon her careful restraint. The wedding planning becomes secondary as Terri discovers what it means to want someone completely.
