Cassie Andrews dreams of her cousin Mary's sudden death. Dreams that foretell trouble and death have plagued Cassie since she was a small child. Confirmation arrives via a telegram of Mary's accidental drowning at her employer's estate, Killdaren Castle on the Cornwell coast. Within her heart, Cassie knows the authorities are wrong. After a near- drowning accident years ago, Mary would never go near the sea. The unwillingness of the constable to investigate forces Cassie to undertake the investigation herself. Posing as a servant, she gains employment as a maid at Killdaren Castle where she finds secrets and sorrow fill the occupants, especially owner Sean Killdaren.

Rumors of vampire and murder swirl around Sean, the twin brother of Viscount Blackmoor. He's only seen at night in the shadows and never in daylight. The dramatic change occurred in his life with the mysterious death of Lady Helen -- the beautiful woman that both Killdaren brothers were courting. Sean vows the Killdaren curse bestowed on the family generations ago has taken its last victim. He will thwart the curse by isolating himself and refusing to love. The truth of Lady Helen's death doesn't really matter for destiny can't be changed. Now the tragic death of another young woman haunts the family.

When Sean bumps into Cassie one night, her outspokenness intrigues him. She pokes and prods, upsetting and challenging the norm. Cassie ignores the dangers and pursues the truth, no matter the cost to her safety or her heart.
