Fredrik Gustavsson never considered the possibility of love, or that
anyone could ever understand or accept his dark and bloody
lifestyle--until he met Seraphina, a woman as vicious and bloodthirsty
as Fredrik himself. They spent two short but unforgettable years
together, full of lust and killing and the darkest kind of love that two
people can share. And then Seraphina was gone.
It's been six years since Fredrik's lover and sadistic partner in crime
turned his world upside down. Seraphina went into hiding and has eluded
him ever since. Now, he's getting closer to finding her, and an innocent
woman named Cassia is the key to drawing Seraphina from the shadows. But
Cassia--after sustaining injuries from a fire that Seraphina
ignited--suffers from amnesia and can't give Fredrik the information he
desperately seeks.
Having no other choice, Fredrik has been keeping Cassia locked in his
basement as he not only tries to get her to recall her past--because she
and Seraphina share it--but also to protect her from Seraphina, who
clearly wants her dead. But Cassia is a light in the darkness that
Fredrik never believed existed. After a year subjected to her kindness
and compassion, he finds himself struggling with his love for Seraphina,
and his growing feelings for Cassia--because he knows that to love one,
the other must die.
Will light win out over darkness, or will something more powerful than
either further destroy an already tortured soul?
