Lord Mason has lived in the Sahara for centuries, grieving a lost love. Anyone who dares to disturb her tomb faces his wrath-until it is breached by a fugitive.

Jessica killed her cruel vampire master before he could make her his servant. Mortally injured, she is drawn by the historic legend of the tomb, not knowing how it intertwines with the world she is seeking to avoid. Jessica's only desire is to die there, with her hand on the sarcophagus of the woman who'd had an unyielding faith in love.

Instead, she finds her desire to live forcibly re-awakened by a new vampire master. One who knows just how much it takes to live through the unimaginable.
