An abuse survivor. An ex-husband turned vampire. A confrontation with the past that will leave her reborn-or wed again to darkness.

Mrs. Colding has helped rescue the daughter of her lover, Captain Redfearn. But they soon learn that Penelope Redfearn is still trapped in a trauma bond with her captor-who happens to be Mrs. Colding's abusive ex-husband, now a vampire.

What follows is a cat-and-mouse game in which Mrs. Colding must find a way to free Penelope from her vampiric trance, while resisting the allure of her old manipulator hot on their trail.

Will she spare her lover's daughter from what happened to herself? Or will she be drawn back into her own trauma bond with her abuser?
