Clues are everywhere, but they don't seem to add up, especially when a contact at the fingerprint lab gives Erin Hamilton and Dante Gabriel news that can't possibly be accurate. Another visitor arrives with more information...and an unexpected family tie. In the midst of everything, Erin does what she can to comfort Dante, who is changing before her eyes.

First, though, he will make Erin truly his and take the sustenance he needs to get him through his next battle. But will his love for her be enough to save him when his nemesis is finally unmasked?
