Summary

Sometimes, love is conceived in the mind of a man long before it is ever realized. 1990, Cardiff, Wales. Vampire prince, Sebastian Pearce, has waited six-hundred years for the right human mate. His own beloved mother was a mortal capable of carrying immortal offspring. While vampires no longer require live donors for sustenance, Mother Nature has played a cruel trick on them making breeders a rare commodity. As numbers in Sebastian's Imperial House continue to dwindle, his virgin bride eludes him. That is, until he happens upon a young woman searching for information about a sacred vampire text, the Book of Descent. Sebastian's desire for her is more potent than anything he's felt for another woman, but Everleigh Marbut isn't innocent. She's an American with a mind of her own, and worst of all, she's already carrying an immortal being. As Sebastian and Everleigh fight their attraction to each other, they don't realize they're being lured into a battle pitting medieval myth against the power of modern science to recreate life until it's too late. The destiny of his lineage, and the bond forged between them, now rests in their acceptance of each other as they are.
