Heather Westfield has lived quietly until she encounters Jean-Luc, a stranger who captivates her completely. He possesses an unusual charm that draws her in, yet troubling signs emerge. Jean-Luc sleeps through every daylight hour, though he becomes remarkably attentive once darkness falls. Sword-carrying attackers pursue him, but he refuses her help or anyone else's assistance. Most puzzling of all, he shows no signs of aging. Despite these red flags, Heather finds herself falling for this enigmatic man who seems too good to be true. Jean-Luc treats her better than any previous boyfriend, showing her affection and attention she never knew she wanted. Their growing romance faces a deadly obstacle when a murderous enemy targets them both. Heather must navigate this dangerous new world while questioning everything she thought she knew about the man she loves.
