Il n'y a pas si longtemps, le plus grand défi de Sarah Bingham était de retenir l'intérêt de ses étudiants en classe. Aujourd'hui, après avoir sauvé un étranger blessé, elle a atterri au milieu d'une bataille entre des vampires corrompus et des immortels puissants qui ont également besoin de sang pour survivre. Roland Warbrook est l'homme le plus attirant que Sarah n'ait jamais rencontré. Mais son désir pour elle se mêle à une faim qu'il peut difficilement contrôler.

Au cours de ses neuf siècles d'existence immortelle, aucune femme n'a tenté Roland autant que Sarah. Mais lui demander de l'aimer est impossible - cela signifierait renoncer au monde qu'elle a toujours connu, et à la vie qu'il ferait tout pour protéger.

Since the day Lord Dillon earned his spurs, rumors of his savagery on the battlefield have preceded him into every room, stilling tongues and sparking fear. Weary of battle, he wishes only to find a woman he can wed who will approach him not with fear, but with the tenderness that has been absent from his life for so long. Yet only the wisewoman seems invariably at ease in his presence. Perhaps because she garners the same fear in others that he does himself.

For seven years, Alyssa has been by Lord Dillon's side, counseling him from the shadows, healing him with her hands, and staving off the worst of his loneliness while his fearsome reputation keeps others at bay. Blessed--or cursed--with gifts that label her a sorceress, she is forced to conceal her youth and the love she harbors for him beneath umbral robes that lead Dillon and his people to believe she is the same aged wisewoman who served his father.

All is revealed, however, and passions flare when an enemy threatens Dillon's life and Alyssa sacrifices everything to save him. When Dillon discovers that the wisewoman is far from elderly, he is instantly entranced. And, as he and Alyssa work together to defeat an enemy bent on destroying them both, Dillon will risk anything--even the wrath of his king--to be with her.
