Shy, dependable, and — Human.

Marta has spent her entire life growing up in a world that most only read about in novels. She's known the Deveraux secret for years. Vampires and Faeries do exist. So do tall, dark and handsome gentlemen that seem to live forever. Her childhood crush on the seductive and dangerous warrior has turned into a lifelong unrequited love affair. She cherishes their friendship but desperately wants more. Is she brave enough to let him see her true feelings?

Jake has endured centuries alone, accepting that he can never have the woman he loves. He's a warrior living in a world of danger — and, she's human. In the beginning, he kept his distance out of respect for his best friend— who was also Marta's employer. Now, he's finding it harder and harder to resist temptation. He's tired and lonely but a relationship with Marta can only end in heartache. Will love prevail over biology? And, for how long?
