Those who look upon Lannes Hannelore see only an
exceptionally handsome man. But his beauty is a prison,
locking the dark truth inside his tormented soul. For Lannes
is one of a dying race of remarkable creatures, hiding in
plain sight among earth's human masters. His existence is
solitary and sad-until the night he encounters a young woman
on a deserted street, desperate, frightened, with no memory
. . . and covered in blood. She has no recollection of who
she is or what she's done-and now she must trust a
mysterious stranger whose imposing presence masks a gentle
heart. Her need draws Lannes into a mystery that will cause
him to confront his worst fears and question everything he
believes-and compel him to risk his secrets for the one
woman who might well be the love of his life . . . or the
destruction of it.
