Claire Stroughton's legal career takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself imprisoned by a seductive vampire. Her captor possesses an otherworldly hunger that should terrify her, yet something about his dark presence draws her in despite the danger. The vampire makes Claire an extraordinary proposition. He will forsake her blood, the very essence that sustains his kind, if she will surrender something far more precious to him. He wants her heart, her complete devotion, her very soul. As Claire wrestles with this impossible choice, she discovers that his desire for her runs deeper than mere bloodlust. The vampire's need for her transcends his vampiric nature, creating a bond that threatens to consume them both. Claire must decide whether to abandon everything she has built in her human life for a love that defies the natural order.
