Lucian Roman, the youngest of the Roman brothers, is also one of the coldest; at least on the surface. Underneath this veneer of ice burns a fire that even this vampire can't seem to extinguish. Lucian knows he should stay as far away from Bronwyn Kettler as he can. The problem is that since she fed from him, he can't get her out of his head, his unbeating heart, or his throbbing body. He wants her in a way that he can't explain or deny. Lying in wait outside her house, he watches her night after night as she lies in her bed trying to quench a heat of her own.

Bronwyn is a vampire genealogist of genius intelligence who has also spent most of her life trying to avoid the fate of her older sister. That fate was to be given over to the Breeding Male and impregnated with twins. This pregnancy killed her and Bronwyn vowed to never let that happen to her. However, she's now approached her Meta and there's still no sign of her True Mate. She can't seem to move past her insane longing for Lucian since she fed from him to save her life. In order to get past her almost painful urge to go to Lucian, she makes a deal with her close friend, Synjon Wise, and they profess to be True Mates.

On the day of their mating ceremony, Bronwyn is kidnapped and flashed to a deserted island location and is soon joined by Lucian. They've been set up by a terrible enemy in order to complete Lucian's transformation into the Breeding Male, the one thing that Bronwyn both fears and hates the most in the world. Yet, it's becoming painfully clear that Lucian is also what Bronwyn LOVES the most in the world.

Their hunger for each other may become their undoing and cast Lucian into a future that he always dreaded, especially now that he realizes that he can feel love for a female as well as lust. Bronwyn is what he wants and when the two of them get the chance to experience what their love can be, neither of them want to let go.
