Someone who will turn friendship into fire, test loyalty until it breaks, and shatter everything Alex and James thought they knew about love, history, and themselves.

In the quiet town of Eldermere, life is simple for Lyric, a quirky and fiercely independent painter nearly finished with college, who dreams of opening her own studio where she can teach art to children and share her work with the world. By day, she works among the dusty shelves of a historical bookstore, and on weekends she spends her time with Vira, whose bold, impulsive energy perfectly offsets Lyric's quiet and careful nature. After surviving a harrowing abusive relationship that ended in a murder attempt, she is wary of men, trusts few, and guards her heart closely, having sworn off romance entirely. Then Valentine steps into her life. Elegant, enigmatic, and unsettlingly poise, he carries an old-world charm that feels both intoxicating and wrong. Beneath his polished exterior lies a darkness older than Eldermere itself: a vampire burdened by the ghost of a woman he lost seventy years ago, one who looks exactly like Lyric. As Valentine draws near, Lyric's carefully ordered world shifts between fascination and caution. She allows a wary friendship to develop, intrigued by his presence but unsure what to trust. Haunted by his past, Valentine cannot resist unraveling the mystery of this living reflection of the wife he lost seventy years ago. Lyric cannot deny the magnetic pull he exerts over her. He's unlike any man she has met, elusive and arcane, and part of her senses a dangerous truth lurking beneath his perfection.
