After the events of To Touch the Sun, Book One in the Chicago Vampire Series, Narain Khan is finding his life returning to normal-or as normal as life can be for the chef and owner of one of Chicago's premiere restaurants who also happens to be a vampire. And yet, as the romance deepens between him and microbiologist Cassie Lambert, and investors approach he and business partner Dom Amato to open a London restaurant, Narain can't shake the feeling that something terrible is coming. Something he'll be totally unprepared to deal with. Indeed, something terrible does come as the consequences of a careless action taken decades ago come back to haunt him. It forces him to lie to Dom, a friend he's never lied to before, and puts at risk the relationship he's built with Cassie after a blackout causes him to do the unthinkable one night. To save those he loves, victims of his mistake, Narain must turn to his greatest nemesis for help and agree to the harsh terms that Reg Jameson is only too glad to put forth.
