Only a woman who loves Kyrian with a pure heart can help him to regain his soul, and Kyrian has vowed never to love or trust another woman again. It will take all of Kyrian's Dark-Hunter powers to keep Amanda safe, but when the Fates prophesy that only a Dark-Hunter with a soul can defeat Desiderius, it seems all may be lost. He also senses Amanda's suppressed powers and begins to think that Tabitha wasn't Desiderius' intended target after all. While Kyrian is handcuffed to Amanda, he finds himself extremely attracted to her, and more than that, there are stirrings of emotions that he hasn't felt since his 'death'. Her betrayal led to weeks of torture and eventual execution at the hands of the Roman general, Valerius, but the Greek goddess, Artemis, gave Kyrian a chance at vengeance and immortality in exchange for serving her for all eternity as a Dark-Hunter, vampire-like creatures who hunt down the evils of the night to protect humans. Just as he was on the cusp of defeating the Romans, he was betrayed in the cruelest of ways by his own wife, who he loved passionately. Over two thousand years ago, Kyrian was a commander in the Greek army. Luckily, Amanda's friend, Grace, just happens to be married to a demigod, who was also Kyrian's best friend eons ago. But before they can find out, they will have to escape their prison and find a way to remove the handcuffs which can only be opened by a Greek god. It seems that their assailant, the Daimon, Desiderius, may have been after Tabitha because of her vampire hunting activities. Amanda doesn't think that things could get much worse, but when 'yummy leather guy' wakes up, it doesn't take long for her to realize that the man she is attached to is not human, but a vampire - or so she thinks.

She awakens in a strange room to find herself handcuffed to a gorgeous blond hunk dressed in black leather. In an instant, Amanda is accosted by someone inside Tabitha's house and knocked unconscious. Then one evening, her identical twin sister, Tabitha, calls to ask Amanda to go let her dog out of the house. Actually, said boyfriend just broke up with her because of her 'freaky' family. Except for her dad, she is the only 'normal' one, and wants to keep it that way, so she leads a boring life as an accountant with a boring sub-par boyfriend.
