It cut through my dreams, letting me know what was to come. A monster, a DEMON… and he was hunting for me. The world was crumbling and still, all I could think about was him.The news said it was an accident, that no one ever meant for such a thing to happen. But there was no way to undo what had been done. The fabric between realities was tearing open, pulling people in. Flickers, they called them—ever expanding from the epicenter. Some people flocked towards it, but I wanted to run. They brought me closer to the demon. Every time I closed my eyes, he was there. I’d walk into an empty room and smell his scent, haunting me.I thought perhaps I’d lost my mind, that the state of things had pushed me over the edge. My demon was becoming more real than the last bits of humanity fading around me. More and more people vanished every day, yet this demon was the only one I missed—a creature I’d never met, one that should strike fear in my heart and make my blood run cold. Instead, a part of me felt like I’d always been waiting for him. A part of me was ready… to fall into his DEMON REALM.

     It’s the night of the Masked Ball, one of the most elegant events among London society and a chance for Emily Adams to pretend she’s someone else. Someone who isn’t penniless and hailing from a scandalized family. Someone who hasn’t been told by doctors she has less than a year to live. Behind the mask, Emily can put painful recollections aside and focus on her mission: to find a man to give her a first kiss. A hunger that can’t be tamed . . . Malcolm MacRoyce is on a different kind of hunt, one he knows all too well. A ball among English aristocracy is the last place the immortal Highlander would expect to find himself, but tonight he’s in pursuit of one of his kind who’s been terrorizing London—leaving a trail of bloody murders in his wake. Since Malcolm was cursed centuries ago, he has lived by a strict code and has sworn vengeance on those responsible for his transformation, a vengeance that has gone unsatisfied ---until he meets what he has waited centuries for: the reincarnation of the woman he’d once loved…the same woman who damned him. After a chance meeting in a shadowy garden, Emily can’t deny the attraction between her and the mysterious Scotsman. But can she trust this stranger who looks at her as if he knows her very soul? Or shake the sense that Fate is playing a game with them both. Some desires last a lifetime—this one is eternal.
