They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light...

Would she find magic or madness in his dark embrace?

Young Savannah Dubrinsky was a mistress of illusion, a world-famous magician capable of mesmerizing millions. But there was one - Gregori, the Dark One - who held her in terrifying thrall. Whose cold silver eyes and heated sensuality sent shivers of danger, of desire, down her slender spine.

With a dark magic all his own, Gregori -the implacable hunter, the legendary healer, the most powerful of Carpathian males - whispered in Savannah's mind that he was her destiny. That she had been born to save his immortal soul. And now, here in New Orleans, the hour had finally come to claim her. To make her completely his. In a ritual as old as time. . . and as inescapable as eternity.

Excerpt

Gregori was totally different from the others - much more frightening, much more powerful.

    The other Carpathian males who had hoped to mat with her now seemed like callow youths in comparison. Gregori, the Dark One, took Savannah's breath and turned her body to hot liquid, making her want things she had never in her original life dreamed of.
    Fear slammed into Savannah at the knowledge that he could easily steal her very will, make her his irrevocably.
    You belong to me, no other.
    He spoke the words in her head. Then Gregori tugged her to him, so close her body was imprinted for all time by his. He fastened his mouth to hers.
    The earth rocked. The air sizzled. And in that instant Savannah's entire life, her very existence changed. She needed, burned, ached for Gregori. There was no Savannah without Gregori, no Gregori without Savannah.
    And that terrified her . . .
