Aleron is ancient, powerful, immortal…a vampire who idles
away his time playing at his favorite haunt, Midnight
Playground. His favorite toys: beautiful young men. His
game: BDSM, experiencing through the minds of his partners
the sensations he can no longer quite feel himself.
The one thing he has vowed to avoid at all costs is love,
especially for a woman. In a hundred years he has never
been tempted to break that vow—until a lovely mortal woman
enters his dungeon to watch him play. And his blood hums
the ancient song of long-forgotten desire.
Raised in the Indian slums of London, exotic dancer Meeraj
enters Midnight Playground a woman with nothing left to
lose, numb to all but the most extreme forms of
stimulation. As she watches Aleron’s blood play, she knows
only his razor-sharp skills will satisfy. And she catches
an odd mental glimpse of the grief that shadows his heart.
From their first touch, they are caught up in a whirlwind
of exquisite agony that releases their emotions from the
weight of the past. Exposing them to risks they’ve both
fought to avoid. Love…and loss.
