As a centuries-old Atlantean god with a vampire curse, Daire had made peace with his fate; he was one of the chosen, a Surien, protector of the innocent. He spent his days at rest, shielded from the sun's deadly rays, and his nights hunting the fallen Atlanteans who would kill those he was sworn to protect. It was a fairly simple existence ... until she came along. Symarah Stratford had it all, a successful career, beautiful beach house, amazing friends. All in all, she led a very peaceful life. But that all changed when she found out that the gorgeous vampire god she had been dreaming of for years was actually real, and the only reason he has made himself known to her is to protect her from the soulless monster who threatens her very existence. Now she spends her days escaping the relentless evil that stalks her, and her nights longing for the forbidden touch of the man she cannot have.
