Angela Pierce swore off relationships after leaving her controlling ex. Swallowed by her workaholic tendencies, she doesn't have time for men anyway--she barely has time for her best friend. So when a girls' night out goes wrong, all she really wants is an easy escape route, but something about Blaine keeps her looking back...

It's been almost a hundred years since Blaine Moreau looked at a woman as more than a midnight snack, but Angela's inconsistent signals and inability to find meaning in her life are fascinating after so many years alone. But what future is there for a mortal and a vampire, especially when he can't make her change? Her message is clear--find a solution or walk away.

Desperate for something steadfast in her life, Angela doesn't want to end it, but there are only two options, and either one pushes them both farther than she's sure she can survive: change herself, or change a vampire's nature.
