Tall, dark, mysterious—and with a faint scar on his cheek that only makes him more gorgeous—Kaiden Thorne is one schoolgirl obsession Skylynn never forgot. Now, returning to her childhood home after eight years, she can't believe her reclusive neighbor is still living across the street—and hotter than ever. Skylynn doesn't know how Kaiden manages to stay so young, virile, and impossibly attractive. But she knows she wants him. . .even if he harbors a fearful secret he refuses to tell her.
When Kaiden sees the beautiful young woman Skylynn has become, he can no longer control the bloodlust that is his true nature. Once he pulls Skylynn into his arms, presses his lips against hers—and accidentally draws blood—he longs for more. Only she possesses what he wants and what he needs. Only she can save him or destroy him. But once Skylynn agrees to help Kaiden battle his darkest desires, there is no turning back. . .

In this competent but unoriginal modern vampire romance from Ashley (Bound by Blood), divorcée Skylynn McNamara returns to her childhood home in a small California town after her grandfather’s death and is thrilled to encounter her teenage crush, the darkly handsome Kaiden Thorne. Secretly a centuries-old vampire, Kaiden can walk by day only because of Skylynn’s grandfather’s special potion. Kaiden and his archenemy, the tenacious vampire slayer Girard Desmarais, are now in a race to find the lost recipe. As Skylynn and Kaiden’s romance develops, he must protect her from his growing thirst for blood as an unlikely alliance builds between the vengeful Girard and Kaiden’s own creator, the ancient vampire Cassandra. Though the central romance is entirely standard, the background derivative, and the eventual resolution predictable, Ashley moves her tale along smoothly and adds enough minor twists to make her story workable for undemanding readers.
