I carry a dark curse. I don't know how or why it befell me, but I'm well aware of the damage it can cause.

One touch of my skin unleashes the vilest creatures, monsters who want nothing more than to see our world destroyed. I am trapped by my fate and know better than to wish for freedom.

Nicholas Montegue, however, believes I can be saved. And this seductively dangerous vampire has decided it's his job to rescue me. Personally, I think he's a fool, and yet...

Little by little, I find myself falling for his blind commitment to justice, for his kind heart and brave smile-and all of this frightens me far more than my dark power ever did.

Can we actually find a way to lift my curse, or will his passionate attentions only quicken my destruction?
