Forced back into close proximity, the two must put their hatred, grief and betrayal aside long enough to survive the political forces closing in around them.

With the vampire social season approaching, his family expects him to find a suitable wife, whether he likes it or not. Then he meets Thea, a talented human cellist who accidentally stumbles into his world at a glamorous gala. She is everything he should avoid: too kind, too innocent and far too human.
