Her cruellest temptation . . .

A werewolf's bite has just one cure, and vampire Lucien Marchetta intends to find it. But first he must convince Professor Natalie Segova to help him. Natalie once considered Lucien a friend and protector...until he abandoned her to a terrible tragedy. And yet, she still struggles to resist his tantalising allure and the intimate memories of their past.

Racing to locate the cure, Lucien and Natalie tangle in a seductive power play where every move ratchets up the intensity of their attraction. But time is running out and the veil between death and life is shifting. If Lucien doesn't reclaim Natalie's heart soon, he could lose her - and everything he values - forever.
