Life with vamps is never easy.

Abernathy Meyers is already mated to a vamp, Zebulon. It's just too bad that Zebulon doesn't give a darn about him. Abbie's stuck with the man for eternity—or until they die. Some days, Abbie thinks that can't happen soon enough. He's tired of being treated badly, yet he doesn't really want to make his earthly exit yet.

Because he's longed for another man—another vampire—for years. Forbidden love—is anything more compelling, or more heart-breaking?

There's a twisted past, a hidden story linking Abbie, Zebulon and the coven leader, Claude.

Claude lives with a fear of turning to dust at any moment. It isn't reasonable, but he can't shake it. He's let his own fears impede his potential happiness, and instead he puts the needs of his coven first, ignoring his own. But if he's deliberately blind to one particular human's needs because that human is a mate to another vampire, then is Claude truly leading to the best of his ability?

It's a tough question for him to answer and soon, he'll have to make a choice that will affect him and Abbie, forever.
