When a band of demonic predators creep into the quiet town of Sterling Springs, women start dying. Their first attack leaves one child without a mother, and Marie Durrant throws out her predictable lifestyle to become the little girl's nanny. It's a big enough step for the virtual shut in, but even more difficult when she becomes attracted to the mysterious widowed father. Quenton Blake, an extra hunky, extra irritated immortal, is cursed to seek out those desperate for inspiration and feed on their souls. To make matters worse, women continue to disappear, pitting Marie and Quenton in a tug of war for his daughter's safety, the truth about the murders, and a growing attraction that threatens to destroy any chance of conquering the predators.
