When a murder shakes the small town of Peninsula, all eyes are on Olivia Townsend. She may look eighteen, but the townspeople can sense there's something darker hiding behind her pretty eyes. Olivia knows the smart thing to do is to get out of town. Suspicious neighbors can only mean trouble for a vampire. But leaving becomes much more difficult when William, a mysterious man from her past, arrives. Finding out what brought him back is a temptation Olivia just can't resist. William's kindness and interest in Olivia only makes leaving harder. As she starts to fall for him, she's forced to decide if sticking around is really worth the risk of being discovered. Of course, her mystery man has a secret of his own-and he's not talking.
