SummaryEver since they saw each other across a glittering ballroom
centuries ago, Jean-Marie St. Just and Hélène d'Agelet have
loved each other. Yet no matter how passionate their
attachment, it's always been blocked by demands of duty and
honor that neither can break. Jean-Marie, conceived for
profit then tormented for decades before being saved by the
vampire knight Don Rafael, would rather die than betray the
only family he's ever known. Hélène, firestarter and
British secret agent, longs to regain a simpler life, while
always haunted by an unsettled legacy of family ghosts and
eternal evil.
Now Jean-Marie and Hélène face each other over something far
stronger than ancient ecstasies: Jean-Marie is determined
to kill Hélène?s sister, Madame Celeste—the vampire
Queen of New Orleans—before she can destroy
Jean-Marie's family.
But for Hélène, that means choosing between the love of her
life—or murdering her own flesh-and-blood?
