Summary

Hathor Vinceti does not feel as if she completely belongs in the world around her, yet she never imagines that more could be waiting for her. She decides to move to London to help Georgia run her seasonal upscale bed-and-breakfast home. But in London Hathor finds more than just an exotic city that captures the mind—she finds a thriving underworld seething with wickedly bored vampires. And what could be worse than immortal beings with nothing to do and forever to do it? Surviving on blood and living in agony, Lord Servaes the Marquis de Normant has given up on trying to discover a mortal end to his vampire life. He never asked for immortality and he does not understand those who have. He never asked to use his gifts—his accursed blood— to save the mortal who dares too close to danger. Servaes is drawn to the strong willed woman who would deny him so easily—who by all rights should not be immune to his vampiric powers—and for once he thinks of drinking of something sweeter than the dregs of society.
