Layel rules the vampires with absolute power. No woman has ever resisted his seductive abilities. Two centuries ago, a pack of rogue dragons murdered his beloved, and since then vengeance has consumed his existence. Everything changes when he encounters Delilah, a fierce Amazon warrior who wants nothing to do with his tormented world. She refuses to trust him, just as he refuses to trust her. Yet whenever he comes near, an undeniable desire flares between them. The gods have trapped them both on a mysterious island as part of an elaborate game. Layel and Delilah must face an impossible choice. They can surrender to the passion that threatens to bind them for eternity, or they can resist and face eternal separation. Neither can survive the challenge alone.
