When Sebastian DelaCourte first glimpses Scarlet Rose, his desire for her is eclipsed only by the shock of recognition. Sebastian believes in love at first sight - he experienced it before, centuries ago, for a beautiful vampire who disappeared without a trace and left him cursed with an unending thirst. Now a wildly successful musician with legions of adoring fans, Sebastian can have any woman he chooses, but it is Scarlet's life blood that calls to him. She is his mate and his destiny...if she will only surrender to his kiss.
