He's only been there a short time when Sarah Drake, the town saint, apparently, returns home. Though Drake doubts her powers, he's intrigued by her, naturally. Shortly after they meet, things begin to happen.

There is an attraction drawing them to each other, a gate has been opened to let their long foretold love blossom. Nothing can stop that, but Death will try. It has been cheated, and demands a victim. Sarah and her sisters will have to combine powers to stop a killer from making sure Damon pays the cost.
