Angel to vampire is a long way to fall... Once a warrior of the Light and a revered Paladin protector, Roland now lives in darkness as a vampire, destined to keep to the shadows. Every day is a struggle to overcome the unrelenting bloodlust. Especially the day Karissa shows up on his doorstep... Karissa is light and bright and everything beautiful—and the last woman of their kind. Roland knows he shouldn't try to claim her, but the moment he sets eyes on her, he can't escape the feeling that she is his. He may not have a soul, but even he can't deny his heart. If only he could find a way to let her know how he burns for her... Award-winning author Tes Hilaire invites you to a unique world where vampires and angels roam after darkness falls, and the magic forged by love is more powerful than any evil.
