A newly enrolled graduate student at Boston College, she's determined to discover why her body betrays her. And she knows just the scientist to help her.

When she lands a job as a private tutor for the adopted daughter of a world-famous guitarist, everything changes. The rock gods of Rochester's Pathos, Tennyson, Lee, Klaus, and Diego set their sights on her, and sweep Jayne off her feet. But the band has a secret, and if it comes to light, they'll lose Jayne. They refuse to give her up, and they'll tell any lie, barricade any door, and fight any foe to keep her.

Caught in Asher's sights, Briar fights not only to stay alive, but to stay sane. Asher is in her head, whispering doubts and bringing to light her four vampires' hidden pasts. But she is stronger than Asher and the horrors stalking her vampires. Briar loves them, and she won't give them up, nor will she let them give up on each other.

Forced to choose between her life and the lives of the vampires she loves, Briar made the ultimate sacrifice. For her, a world without Marcus, Hudson, Sylvain, and Valen was inconceivable. But her vampires didn't accept her decision and, at the last moment, transformed her from woman to immortal. Awakened to a new, utterly different life, the sun can finally shine on Briar Hale. With eternity in front of her, all she sees is love and hope. So when the creatures of darkness threaten everything she holds dear, Briar will not surrender.
