Angel Ramírez has been searching for five hundred years for an escape from his dark existence. What he didn't expect was to fall in love with someone who has all the answers to a future he's desperate for. She just doesn't know it yet. Lily Thompson isn't the type that likes loud parties or going out at the end of a long day, but finals week has her more anxious than normal and her roommate, Anne, insisted a night of drinks and dancing at the nightclub would take her mind off things. What should've been a fun night out ended with Lily being attacked in an alley and rescued by a man she swore had wings. As terrifying as the whole thing was, she is captivated by the mystery man and he in turn can't stay away. She accepts his reality in the shadows all too easily and then there are those dreams that wake her up at night... She's a light in the darkness he's afraid may be snuffed out by his mere existence, but she has a secret of her own, a secret she's not even aware of that can make all the difference for him. Just as Lily uncovers the truth about herself, her darkest fears return. She has few options. She must find the strength to face a painful past or be buried by it.
