Andie Rogé craves control like some people crave chocolate. But she can't control her feelings when she encounters Vincent Dubois at Lizzie Borden's Bar. Tortured by blood lust that has ruled him for almost two hundred years, Vincent is unprepared for the pull he feels toward Andie. He can only surrender to what he knows is fate. Offered a cure from a rare black orchid, he faces an agonizing choice-take the only dose and join Andie in the human life he so deeply desires or give the cure to his Kindred brother to stop his bloody rampage. Fate brought them together but will it destroy their chance at a future?
