Derek Blackwood is no ordinary vampire. Descended from a bloodline as old as Cleopatra, and blessed with unearthly powers of seduction, he is everything Sheree wished for - and more. When he takes her in his arms, she is powerless.

When he kisses her neck, she is his. But when the full moon rises - and passions flare - something is unleashed in Derek that he's never felt before. Something wild. Something dangerous. Something no vampire can control or stop...even for the woman he loves.
