d'Argent Honor...fine-tuned over a millennium to fight evil, its hunters are focused on stopping an evil vampire in his mad quest for revenge on the d'Argent queen who refused his suit.
From centuries-old, self-imposed seclusion, Stefan d'Argent emerges to join the hunt and seduce the Fox's next intended victim to protect her. When Stefan sees Julie Quilltouches her, makes love to herhe realizes he is risking his own heart as well as hers. The prospect of facing his eternal life without her is almost too painful to contemplate.
Vampire compulsion or lust at first sightJulie doesn't understand the immediate, irresistible desire Stefan generates in her, but that doesn't matter. She loves him, believes his incredible story...and wants to join him in his shadow world. One erotic bite...one slip into vampiric ecstasy could make it happen.
But Stefan is afraid, not of the Fox but of his own crushing need to have her. A need that could end in her death while trying to convert her, repeating the experience that sent him into seclusion centuries earlier. A near-death experience tips the balance, giving him the courage to make her...eternally his.
