At eighteen, Corinne Bishop was a beautiful, spirited young
woman living a life of privilege as the adopted daughter of
a wealthy family. Her world changed in an instant when she
was stolen away and held prisoner by the malevolent vampire
Dragos. After many years of captivity and torment, Corinne
is rescued by the Order, a cadre of vampire warriors
embroiled in a war against Dragos and his followers. Her
innocence taken, Corinne has lost a piece of her heart as
well—the one thing that gave her hope during her
imprisonment, and the only thing that matters to her now
that she is free.
Assigned to safeguard Corinne on her trip home is a
formidable golden-eyed Breed male called Hunter. Once
Dragos’s most deadly assassin, Hunter now works for the
Order, and he’s hell-bent on making Dragos pay for his
manifold sins. Bonded to Corinne by their mutual desire,
Hunter will have to decide how far he’ll go to end Dragos’s
reign of evil—even if carrying out his mission means
shattering Corinne’s tender heart.
