Nick

Succumbing to a lusciously seductive redhead at a European estate, Sir Nicholas Blaine falls into a pit of horror as he becomes a creature of darkness—a vampire. Mired in despair, Nick stumbles through the English countryside toward thoughts of a welcome end to his existence. Until he finds himself in the middle of some nocturnal goings-on that both surprise and intrigue him...

Verity Chandler is as much two people as is Nick Blaine. Her masquerade is leading her on a dangerous path that could well get her killed, unless she accepts the aid of a man she thought had died. Hes arousing, enticing, and sensual...although his existence is a mystery to her.

The highwaymen Verity commands are princes compared to the family she lives with, and Nick must make a decision on her behalf that will change them both forever. It is the only choice, but he cannot guess whether Verity will be able to forgive him for making it. Or if the passion they share will make her strong enough to join him in his fight against the ultimate evil—Thérèse.
