For Amaryllis Hart, it's just one thing after the other. After escaping an abusive uncle, she finds herself working for Jack Crawley, a sinister human who betrays her and sells her without hesitation to the evil shape-shifting Scatha Cruors-a fine way to repay her for being his most trusted lieutenant (and source of mind-blowing sex) all these years. All of a sudden, she's tossed into a world she can't believe exists: the Scatha battling the heroic vampire/werewolf hybrids known as the Cynn Cruors ... and thrown into the arms of one such immortal who steals her heart. Colin Butler and Craig Shaw, both Cynn Cruors, return to Leeds abruptly after a secret Colin has been keeping for centuries resurfaces to haunt him. Colin must come face to face with his past, and his future-Amaryllis, the violet-eyed beauty he longs to do more for than just rescue. She makes his blood curdle with desire...and she heals his soul. Unbearable tensions mount as Colin and Amaryllis embark on a passionately hot love affair they can't resist. But when Dac Valerian and Herod D'Argyl-two of the Scatha Cruors' most dangerous leaders-turn up in Leeds, Colin has to make the hardest decision of his life: walk away from his past, or avenge the brutality bestowed on his family and lose the woman he loves-forever.
