It has been two years since Baron's initiation into the world of the Immortals and was forced to set aside his past to embrace the challenges of his new future...a future without the only woman he ever cared about.

Maxine is strong, determined, and loyal to a fault, but her promise to Baron's brother is a hard one to keep, because it means tracking Baron down and dragging him home to face the music. But the man she finds isn't the same one who broke her heart when he left two years ago without even saying goodbye, and now that she's been sucked into his dangerous new world, nothing will ever be the same again.

When Baron encounters a vicious vampire who vows to destroy everything he loves, it doesn't faze him in the least. He gave up everything he loved along with his humanity. But then the demon finds Maxine, leaving her broken and battered on Baron's doorstep, and he realizes he still has something to lose...
