'It has been one year since her normal life was brutally taken from her. Still adjusting to the shock of the change from mortal to immortal, her world is rocked again and she is taken under the wings of a guardian angel back to Sage Sanctum, a school beyond reach from the vampires that are determined to destroy her.

'There, she is freed from her vampire chains and her normal needs and urges return. However, a new urge arises... Lust. A forbidden lust toward her savior, her guardian angel.

'Attempting to control these desires is difficult, very difficult and when things couldn't possibly get any worse, her situation becomes life or death as someone, somewhere in the school is aiding those who want her dead.'

'For Ruby Moore life doesn't slow down. It's just one roller coaster ride after another and when the higher power comes to visit, Ruby's world is shaken to its foundations. He offers her a job and if she wants to protect those she loves, she has no choice but to accept it.

'In the aftermath of a battle that forced Ruby to flee the safety of the guardian angels, she settles into a small town, hoping to blend in and forget about the ones she loved. It isn't until Hunter stumbles across her working in a bar and a well-timed email from Ivan Aleksandrov that she realised she could go back to Sage Sanctum--for a few days, at least.

'Out for revenge, Lucian will stop at nothing until he has Ruby for himself, but he isn't the only one that needs her. The council, a group of gods/goddesses have a mysterious hand in Ruby's return to Sage Sanctum and Mr Aleksandrov is eager to find out what it is.

'Destroying Lucian is the least of her worries when Ruby comes face to face with Eli De Luca, the love of her life. It seems her departure has affected him more than she thought it would, but his frustration with her isn't strong enough to hide the electricity that crackles relentlessly between them.

'Determined to end her very real nightmare once and for all, Ruby fights the biggest battle of her life, one that affects not only her, but everyone involved.'

'Ruby and Eli have risked it all to keep their love hidden...but no great feat goes unnoticed.

'The council has called on the secret lovers to attend obligatory hearings. After the dramatic events that took place with Lucian, the council wants answers.

'They know the small group of friends that exist within the walls of Sage Sanctum are withholding important information from them and in order to protect their society from exposure, they need to contain it and fast.

'Ruby and Eli are sick and tired of concealing their feelings...

'They want equality and they want it now. They're ready to take on the world in order to be together...and they just might.

'Unfortunately, their epic love takes the back seat as new problems arise and their friend's needs come first, which beckons the question;

'If not for love, then what else?'
