Sebastian is a vampire who has it all – wealth, power, and a family of beautiful women he's turned over the years, devoted to him and to running his business empire. It's a far cry from where his life started, hundreds of years ago, but nothing he's built can help him when he develops a sudden intolerance for the one thing he truly needs to survive. Desperate to find a solution, he crosses paths with Renee, a young human woman with her own difficult past and her own special abilities. She's dedicated her life to helping those in need, and it's more than clear to her that Sebastian needs help... but does he deserve it? As they get to know each other, her blood provides him a temporary reprieve and their undeniable attraction takes them both by surprise, but it might all be for nothing if they can't get to the root of the problem: who's after Sebastian and why?

Renee is adjusting to her new life of darkness and considering Sebastian's offer to turn her permanently when unexpected news forces them to take a step back. A new facet of Renee's abilities is uncovered and the pair set out to learn more about Renee's tribal history and what it means both for her and for their relationship. However, when word gets out about Renee's new gift, it attracts some unwanted attention from others who want to benefit from it. As rival factions assemble, Renee chafes against the new restrictions Sebastian wants to place on her to keep her safe. They want to build a life together, but can they find a balance that will satisfy them both, or is the gap between their worlds just too far to bridge?
