Forbidden love, pulse-pounding action, and humor collide in the next stand-alone novel in New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall’s acclaimed Immortal Guardians series.
Driven by vengeance, Bastien once hunted the Immortal Guardians. Now he must fight alongside them. His dark past leads every immortal to question his loyalty. Suspicion dogs his footsteps. Every action is scrutinized. And Bastien fears that any hint of a connection with Melanie Lipton, the brilliant doctor he can’t stop thinking about, will place her in danger.
Determined and fearless, Melanie races against time to find a cure for the virus that turns vampires into psychotic killers. Because her patients include Bastien’s closest friends, she encounters the immortal black sheep often… and falls for the man others can’t see for his violent past.
Together, Bastien and Melanie must combat a rising enemy that threatens to plunge the Immortal Guardians’ world into chaos. As danger mounts, the forbidden attraction neither can ignore deepens into a love Bastien fears could cost Melanie her career… or worse, her life.

Teaser
Excerpt
She stared at him in silence for so long he began to feel a bit self-conscious. “You can feel other people's emotions?” she asked finally.
“Yes. And Stuart's told me he was lying to try to save his ass.”
Again she stared at him.
“What?” he asked when the silence stretched.
“You can feel my emotions? Right now?”
“No. I have to touch you to feel them.”
“So . . .”
He could see her considering it, trying to remember every time he had touched her or she had touched him. At the network. In her car. At David's. Trying to remember what she might have inadvertently revealed.
“You might have mentioned it. Given me a little warning.”
“Such didn't occur to me.”
More silence.
“What do you feel when you touch me?” she asked.
Bastien's attention dropped to her full lips as she licked them anxiously. “Sometimes I feel your concern. Sometimes uncertainty. Clinical detachment. Fear the first time we met.”
“Well, our first meeting was rather . . . explosive.”
That was putting it mildly.
“What else?”
He knew what she sought. “Sometimes my gift tells me you feel what I feel myself every time I look at you. Or think of you. Or touch you.”
Her soft, smooth neck moved with a swallow. “You're attracted to me.”
“Yes.”
“I'm attracted to you.”
“I know.”
“What are we going to do about it?”
