In 1307, Chapel and five other warriors are on a mission for King Philip. They are to uncover the secrets of the Knights Templar and take their riches from them. While hunting for the treasure, they become mortally injured and drink from what they believe is the Holy Grail in order to mend their injuries and save their lives. It wasn't the Holy Grail they found, though save them it did. What they had found was the Blood Grail and it transformed them; from mortal men to immortal vampires.

In 1899, Prudence Ryland is on her own quest to discover the Holy Grail. She's not after the riches, or the fame finding the grail would bring her. She wants it for one purpose; to live. Dying of cancer, Prudence knows of no other way through which she may survive. Her life is slowly slipping away and there's still so much she wants to experience. She knows the grail is her last hope and she'll do anything to find it.

Chapel meets Prudence when he hears of her efforts to find the Holy Grail and arrives in order to keep her from discovering it. What he didn't expect to find was the love that blossoms between them. Now he has the chance to offer Prudence what she's been searching for, a full life, or in this case, an immortal one, all with one kiss. But will he be able to condemn her to a life of blood drinking, never seeing the sun and becoming a soulless creature like he believes himself to be?

Kathryn Smith delivers a top notch vampire novel full of endearing characters and sensual scenes that'll have you hooked in no time. BE MINE TONIGHT depicts the lengths a person will go in order to survive. Chapel's struggle with defining him immortality as a curse or a blessing is very touching at times, as is Prudence's fight with cancer. BE MINE TONIGHT is a wonderful tale that celebrates life to its fullest and leaves you with an appreciation for the time you have.
