Is a vampire’s love worth dying for?

Malachi Bane had been condemned to live forever without the woman he would love until the day he died. He waits out eternity in isolation, on a small island in the Maine Archipelago. When a visiting couple threatens his peaceful existence, Bane prepares to kill them if he has to, in order to defend his home and protect his privacy. Instead, he is compelled to save the life of the woman he has become strangely fascinated with, not realising the consequences of his actions at first.

Amber Kirkwood isn’t impressed by Bane’s macho attitude and has no idea how she got embroiled in the mess her life has become. Her rescue from the island and subsequent arrest for her colleague David’s unexplained death, sets off a chain of events she has no control over and no desire to be a part of. On top of that, she is then kidnapped by Bane and held hostage so he can protect her from Katerina, the vengeful female who created him and has never forgiven him for leaving her.

When the physical and emotional bonds begin to grow between the unlikely couple, Bane longs to ‘change’ Amber, in order to save her life and keep her with him forever. But she fears for her immortal soul and, with so much at stake, Amber can’t be sure that what she feels for Bane truly is worth dying for.

In choosing a book to spend my time on I usually research a little about the book and the author. Very rarely does the cover or the blurb on the back influence my decision.

This took a turn that I never expected. And what a great way to get lost!
