Now, twenty years after his escape from those hellish origins, Asher is a loner whose heart is as cold as his skills are merciless.

Yet the solitary, seductively handsome vampire has enemies of his own, and a secret that will not only shatter her faith in him but her heart, proving what she’s feared all along—that trust is only an illusion and love may be the sharpest weapon of all.
