In this intoxicating Carpathian novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan, a woman falls prey to the seductive allure of the past—and a vampire warrior’s intoxicating embrace...
The moment Charlotte Vintage walks into his club, Tariq Asenguard’s blood is set on fire. The ancient Carpathian had given up hope of finding his lifemate, but now he will do anything to make Charlotte his own. What Tariq doesn’t know is that Charlotte is using herself and her best friend as bait—to try to draw out the bloodthirsty killers who have already murdered Charlotte’s brother and mentor.
Charlotte is familiar with Tariq. Not only is he one of the richest and most eligible bachelors in the city, but he’s also a renowned collector of old carousel horses, which Charlotte restores. Their shared passion opens Charlotte up to trusting him with her life and with the desire she can no longer control. But it also makes her vulnerable to a centuries-old curse that will unite her and Tariq in a war against the enemies of humans and Carpathians alike...

“Together, narrator Jim Frangione and author Christine Feehan are like chocolate and peanut butter—dark and delicious…Frangione strikes every note perfectly in this steamy paranormal romance. He captures the all-encompassing focus Tariq and Charlotte share, making the rest of the world seem like a blurred view from a carousel ride. Tariq’s voice is masculine and dominant but also fearful as he worries about his family’s safety. Frangione smoothly shifts gears from vampire battles to Charlotte’s soft yet determined dialogue. He lingers on certain words and syllables to communicate emotion with subtle mastery. The pacing of the final battle stays unbearably taut. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award.”

“The amazing Feehan moves her long-running Carpathian series from Europe to California as two women band together to discover who is stalking them and killing those they love. This change of scenery also introduces a Carpathian hero who has adapted more to the modern era. Watching the relationship and family bond develop between Charlotte Vintage and Tariq Asenguard makes for truly outstanding reading. Feehan nails it!”
