Helena Morrow has an exhibition to present and nothing - not paperwork, her stressed boss, or even the slightly drunk PhD student Korbyn - is going to stop her having a good time. But when an artifact is reported as broken, her impromptu trip into the museum archives to assess the damage results in her waking in Milan to find she's been stolen along with the rest of the delivery. With Korbyn revealed as a vampire, Helena is drawn into his world of murder, parties, and stolen artifact auctions. Korbyn's appetite doesn't stop at blood, and he is a very strict negotiator.... As Helena is thrust into increasing danger and violent revenge, her passions become entangled with the mysterious man she thought she knew, and learns so much more about, both in body and soul.
