As the new Gal Friday at Atticus Maxwell's winery, Kelly is grateful for the much-needed job, and delighted to be working with her best friend Lissa. What she doesn't need is the exasperation brought on by Marc LaTour's constant flirting. Yet she can't deny she is drawn to the mysterious, unsettling Master vampire. After six hundreds years of searching, Marc has resigned himself to the fact that he'll never find his One. Kelly is under Atticus and Lissa's protection, and therefore off limits. Yet the desire to possess her is too strong to resist. Curiosity leads to lust--and the surprising discovery that they indeed could be destined mates. But a dark cloud hangs heavy over them. A rival vampire has challenged Marc for leadership--a challenge that involves a fight to the death. The cost of survival could forever poison any hope for a future together, but if they can both pass the final test, they could find love that will last for eternity.
