He vowed to never love again, but now his undead heart is beating... She finds it hard to keep living, is he her salvation?


Since his turning, Caleb lives in his remote country estate with a skeleton staff. His beloved rose garden occupies his time, a tribute to his past lost love, along with a sharp reminder that the thorns that would scratch a human leave no lasting mark on a vampire.


Artist Vivienne dreams of a garden and a stranger, feeling compelled to sketch roses over and over. When the name Tetburn Manor whispers on the edge of waking, she finds the house and gardens that match her dreams and sets off to sketch them, wondering if the house can lift her constant melancholia.


Caleb watches Vivienne as she herself blooms while she paints his garden standing outside of his estate. Should he listen to his heart and let her in?
