A damned dream…

A breathtaking stranger…

A doomed love…

He watches her every night rehearsing alone in his theatre, her beauty aglow in the gaslights. With every hour that passes, Marcus Stafford is more entranced with the passionate Gabriela Rozina and the dream she refuses to give up. His obsession is dangerous, and he knows it. She can never know who—or what—he is.

Gabriela is moved by the stranger with the silver eyes who emerges from the darkness yet brings brilliance to her world. Soon, she wants something more from Marcus than just his mentorship. She begs for his touch, his body, and his heart—but more than anything, to share his dark secret by giving him her blood.

As the night draws near of Gabriela’s most vital performance ever, she is in danger of never making it to the stage—unless Marcus fulfills her wish and shares his life force with her. But in doing so, he risks everything, including both their souls.
