This time, the creature under the basement is real. And dead sexy.

Computer expert Carly is tired, burned out, and ready to downgrade her hectic lifestyle to something simpler. Her solution-pull up stakes and move to an old farm house in the middle of Wyoming. Her new house is full of old-time charm, and it comes with an unexpected surprise. Dmitri Belakov.

Dmitri, a Master Vampire, had a deal with the former owners of the house to let him live peacefully beneath it in his hidden lair. Now there's a new owner and he may have to risk revealing his presence to negotiate a new contract with her. He moves cautiously because if she won't deal, he'll have to kill her once she knows his secret. Carly's mind is unusually hard to influence, but he makes inroads when she is asleep.

Their shared dreams are more erotic than he ever expected, firing a hunger within him to know her feel and taste in the flesh. But doing so risks far too much. Even if Carly can't deny the attraction arcing between them, loving him will force her to make a choice. An eternity in darkness with him-or life in the sun without him.

Main Characters:

• Carly - the new owner of an old farmhouse that lies above the vampire's secret lair
• Dmitri - the Master Vampire who resides in a comfortable home secreted beneath the old farmhouse
