He wore darkness with such graceful ease . . . It's been a month since Thea Melbourne's world
was turned upside down by a vampire. Now she's returned to San Francisco where her mother lies
in a coma. Struggling to return to the life she left behind she's selling off her gifted
couture to pay the bills avoiding her concerned roommates and trying to forget the vampire
who started it all. Julian Rousseaux knows he should stay away from Thea. The problem is that
she haunts his every thought and when a new threat emerges he faces the hardest choice he's
made in 900 years: pray that she's safer without him or propose a new arrangement to keep her
at his side. One that forces them to confront their own dark secrets while resisting the
temptation to cross the line and claim each other . . . forever.
