The last time we saw Andreas Reichen, he had just
discovered his entire family at his Darkhaven home had been
wiped out. Men, women, children, it didn't matter. They
were all dead. Andreas will make someone pay and he knows
just who needs to pay. He is out for vengeance. He
doesn't anticipate coming across a blast from his past,
Claire Roth, the only woman he'd ever loved. He had to
leave her though when he discovered what his true power was
and how it could destroy a breedmate so he daren't claim
her.
What Andreas finds out is his dreaded enemy does claim her,
her protector, Wilhelm Roth. Andreas figures he can get to
Wilhelm through Claire. Claire doesn't believe that Andreas
deigned to come back into her life. Then when he tells her
some cock and bull story, she isn't sure what or who to
believe. Should she be loyal to Wilhelm who basically
ignores her unless he wants something or what? She is so
confused! It doesn't help that the Order thinks Andreas
died along with his family. What a surprise when they
discover he's alive!
I devour each Breeds story so quickly, it just leaves me
wanting more and more! Lara Adrian does such a good job of
wrapping up each Breeds' story but still leaving us with
the desire to learn what she has in store for the rest of
the Breeds. Her Breeds are simply awesome!
A woman driven by blood. A man thirsting for
vengeance. A place where darkness and desire
meet...
As night falls, Claire Roth flees, driven
from her home by a fiery threat that seems to come from
hell itself. Then, from out of the flames and ash, a
vampire warrior emerges. He is Andreas Reichen, her
onetime lover, now a stranger consumed by vengeance.
Caught in the cross fire, Claire cannot escape his savage
fury—or the hunger that plunges her into his world of
eternal darkness and unending pleasure.
Nothing
will stop Andreas from destroying the vampire responsible
for slaughtering his Breed brethren . . . even if he must
use his former lover as a pawn in his deadly mission.
Blood-bonded to his treacherous adversary, Claire can lead
Andreas to the enemy he seeks, but it is a journey fraught
with danger—and deep, unbidden desires. For Claire is the
one woman Andreas should not crave, and the only one he’s
ever loved. A dangerous seduction begins—one that blurs
the lines between predator and prey, and stokes the flames
of a white-hot passion that may consume all in its
path. . . .
