After escaping the clutches of the evil Vampiress Maura, three friends struggle with the past in finding a new way of life and love… Xander's nightmare past has left him with some serious control issues. Without the burning hatred that kept him going when he was under Maura's thumb, he has lost his lust for life. Jaded and closed off to the world around him, Xander is entirely unprepared for the arrival of Cat. One catastrophe changed Cat's life forever. Cat thought her best friend was crazy for wanting to be a vampire but loved her enough to go along with it anyway. When a sick twist of fate lands her in her friend's place, Cat’s strong personality and intolerance for mysterious, arrogant, know-all types like Xander are the only things she has left to call her own. When the past comes back to haunt them, will it destroy them, or will they find the strength to claim what is in their hearts?
