First published 2011
Drina Argenis has lived centuries as an immortal, but babysitting a teenage vampire presents new challenges. The Spanish member of the Argeneau family finds herself assigned to protection duty alongside Harper Stoyan, a fellow immortal who might be her destined life mate. Harper recently lost his previous life mate and has sworn off romantic entanglements entirely. He wants nothing more than solitude and the numbness that comes with emotional isolation. Drina refuses to accept his resignation to loneliness. She pushes past his defenses with her unpredictable nature and undeniable attraction. Their teenage charge watches the romantic tension unfold and decides to play matchmaker between the reluctant partners. But danger lurks in the shadows as a renegade immortal threatens their mission. Harper must choose between the safety of emotional distance and the risk of loving again. Drina fights not only external enemies but also Harper's internal walls, determined to prove that second chances at love are worth the vulnerability they demand.
