A modern-day vampire romance from the New York Times–bestselling author of Prince ofWolves and Prince of Shadows.

Plagued by nightmares of her sister's death, San Francisco psychologist Diana Ransom is faced with a new fear when her cousin disappears. While searching for the beautiful young artist, Diana meets her anonymous patron, philanthropist Nicholas Gage. The attraction Diana feels for the darkly mysterious man seems otherworldly—because it is. Nicholas is a vampire who feeds on the energy of dreams, therefore never draining his human donors of their lives. But there are others of his kind—including his own brother—with no such scruples.

As Nicholas aids Diana in her search, a deeper connection between them is revealed. Nicholas's centuries-long past holds the key to their desire and to Diana's present-day tragedies. But it is her bloodline and the power of their passion which may give them a future after all . . .
