A year ago, Alexandria Stevens strode through the doors of Wicked Ways and into the arms of a man - a monster, really - who stole everything from her. Her memory. Her life. Now she's a creature of darkness with only hazy images in her mind of that night and a confusing jumble of emotions. A fierce hate... and an even fiercer desire for Markus Santini.
Markus has walked through this world for more than a hundred years, knowing exactly who and what he was, until Alexandria undid it all. Undid him. When a former vampire colleague threatens one of the Enclave's own, Markus is needed - but only as the dark, powerful creature he once was. And in order to become that, he must find redemption... in the arms of a woman who despises him with every breath she can no longer take.
