Lover Eternal

Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetites.

Her faith in miracles was lost years ago. But when Rhage’s intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves…
