Lucia Raven is determined to avoid marriage. The only way she can do so, is to have her brother, Roger, sign over her inheritance and let her live as she likes. The only problem-- Roger is missing.   Justin Drake, Seventh Earl of Ashton, had planned to exit the intrigue game. Then he learns that Roger is missing, and he must help Lucia. After all, he had promised Roger he would. And he is a man of his word.   His own explorations into Roger's disappearance lead him to the not-so-secret coves near Raven's Peak. Here he makes several discoveries: Roger's home is the perfect location for smuggling; he dislikes the neighboring squire, and he's much more attracted to Lucia than he should be.

Lucien never liked being a vampire. His one wish -- to regain mortality-- seems a possbilitiy if he can obtain the secrets found in an ancient book.    As his search leads him to a small antiques store, and Althea, a psychic mortal, he believes the secrets are within his grasp, at least until Adrian, a much older and more powerful vampire gets to the book first.   When Adrian starts playing cat and mouse games wtih Althea, Lucien's no longer sure the book is worth the price. Too bad Althea doesn't agree with him, and is determined to beat Adrian at his own game.
