A frightened woman running from a nightmare. A grief-stricken vampire searching for a beacon of light in his dark and empty existence. On the run and plagued by the ghosts of someone else’s past, Cora finds herself stranded in the small town of Ashland, Oregon. She’s alone, scared, and on borrowed time when a mysterious man shows up out of nowhere, offering to help her when she needs it most. And for the first time in her life, Cora is tempted to make a connection that goes beyond skin deep. After three hundred years, Havok is once again embraced by the clan he’s always considered to be his true family. But he is a shell of himself, a lost soul. Havok is an angry, vengeful creature on a self-appointed mission that has only one possible outcome. At least that’s what he thought, until he finds the only light to ever pierce his darkness, hiding in plain sight. When their worlds collide, Cora and Havok find themselves drawn to each other in a way that can only be described as magnetic, but a shared ghost from their pasts is determined to keep them apart. Will their connection be enough to expel what haunts them and pierce Havok’s darkness for good, or will it consume them both?
