Part of the Ancient Blood series
From the moment they met, Matthew Winter and Dulcie Evans have enjoyed a torrid love affair that's hotter than ever after nearly a decade of marriage. The perfect match, this vampire couple is certain nothing can divide them. When circumstances drive Matthew from his respected position in a Boston hospital, he accepts an offer to head a vampire research center. Working openly among his kind has been Matthew's professional desire, but he soon learns that his dream job isn't as good as it seems. In a hidden lab at the center, a vampire child suffers tortures that Matthew cannot ignore. Rescuing the boy means he must risk losing everything, including the woman he loves more than his own life.
