When Elizabeth's career as a musician hits a wall, she has two options; continue to struggle in her tiny London apartment, or flee to her late grandmother's cottage in the Scottish Highlands. The choice is obvious. Upon arrival in Beauchross Village, the cook at a nearby castle hires her to play music for the ailing Scottish laird. To Elizabeth's shock, the frail elder is a young, scarred man with dark secrets and even darker desires.

Since Jude joined The Order eight years ago, his life has been hell. On every full moon, the cult drinks his blood in order to maintain their youth. One evening, his plans to overthrow his tormentors are interrupted when he encounters an enchanting harpist. He didn't care about his life before he met Elizabeth. Now, Jude must take a great risk to destroy The Order and protect this tempting beauty who wandered into his life.

With each full moon, Elizabeth learns the hideous truth about Jude's past, and yet she cannot keep herself away from the man-the beast-who frightens her. And Jude believes, with the help of Elizabeth's healing touch, he might have a chance to become the man he once was.
