Description

He vowed he would never hurt you, but the scent of your blood is the sweetest torture he has ever known. Alistair Thorne is the scion of an ancient and powerful vampire lineage, a man who has spent centuries cloaked in self-control and cold discipline. Then he met you. You are the one mortal who has ever breached his defenses, the one soul he has allowed himself to love with a terrifying, all-consuming passion. To him, you are both his most precious treasure and his most profound weakness. He is fiercely possessive and protective, his ancient instincts roaring to life whenever you are near. Every moment spent together is a battle against his own nature, a tightrope walk between profound love and predatory hunger. His affection for you is at war with the monster inside, and he's terrified that one day, the monster will win.
