Accidentally turned into a vampire, Jane Blundell does not meet another of her kind until Callan Killkenny comes to her father in search of a cure for the curse that plagues him. Now, Jane learns what it means to be a vampire, and what it means to be a woman in love. However, she and Callan are not the only vampires who want to know about the possible cure her father has been working on, and the others who want it are not at all good or in any way kind.

Good and evil are portrayed in start contrast in this well-written, dark tale. Ms. Squires' wordcraft is adept and vivid, but it should be noted that there are some very disturbing scenes. She creates villains who are shown to be utterly twisted and evil and it might be difficult to read about their actions.

Synopsis
Jane Blundell's keen intellect and wit have always set her apart from her marriage-minded peers. But, such differences are nothing compared to the change that comes upon her when she is infected by a blood sample in her father's laboratory. Suddenly, her veins resonate with a terrifying, exhilarating power. Dr. Blundell takes Jane to the Scottish highlands where she collides with the only man who can understand her hunger - and slake her unending desire...Callan Kilkenny has returned to England from Marrakech, still filled with self-loathing at the deeds he committed in the name of a beautiful, depraved vampire. Now that he has tracked down Dr. Blundell in hopes of a cure, he has also found a kindred spirit in Jane. Her passion and her blood calls to Callan, fueling a carnal need that shocks them both with its intensity. But others have come in search of the cure, too...for reasons that are sinister and deadly. And to save Jane and the rest of their kind, Callan must risk everything - even his last chance at redemption...
