Hope Havergale first meets the mysterious teenager Christian
Livingston on her seventh birthday when he saves her from
plummeting into a cradle of water inside a forbidden forest. As he
licks fresh blood droplets from her injured wrist, Hope is
spellbound. Seemingly powerless to his charms, Hope has no idea
that it will be her destiny to embark on a breathtaking, perilous
adventure with this two-hundred year-old vampire.
As Hope grows up and inherits an old house in the Florida Keys
from her estranged grandmother, she secretly pines for
Christian-the man who haunts her dreams. While yearning for his
good looks and succulent tin-cinnamon scent, Hope is clueless that
it is Christian who fell in love with her when she was just seven.
Worse yet, Hope doesn't realize the truth about her own veiled
past-that even she isn't fully human. When Christian reappears one
day, she falls hard, rousing the monster within her. Somewhere
between skin and ink and blood and love, a sinful self-discovery
awaits Hope as she becomes entangled in a conflict between
civilized and savage vampires.
In this seductive tale, bloodlust quickly turns to bloodshed
when the arrival of a new danger threatens to destroy both their
secret love and surreptitious existence.
When Bear, a mysterious young man, lands on Blanche and Rose
Brier's doorstep in New York City, the two sisters have conflicting
opinions on whether or not he is dangerous. Even as Blanche learns
to trust him, her fears that Bear's friendship threatens their
family prove terrifyingly true. A modern retelling of the classic
Brothers Grimm fairytale.
