For more than two-hundred years, Aleksandr Draksel has avoided commitment of any kind. His life of travel and meaningless affairs was all he needed. That is until he meets Trish Williams, a woman he finds himself inexplicably drawn to. She is also the one woman he cannot have. When Trish's life takes a deadly turn, and she becomes the target of a killer, the role of protector falls on Alek's shoulders. He is determined to do whatever it takes to keep her safe while resisting the urge to seduce her. From the moment she met Alek, Trish has been irritated, flustered, and aroused. Despite her attraction, a future with him is impossible. He could never have more than a short fling with a normal human. Unlike her friends, Trish has no psychic abilities— or so she thinks. One broken shoe changes everything. Now, she is determined to live life to the fullest. She is also determined to seduce Aleksandr Draksel.
