Book #7.5 in the Etherya's Earth series
She was in love with a man who didn’t know she existed…
Vampyre aristocrat Celine has eyes for one man: a handsome council member who barely knows she’s alive. Determined to change her destiny, she secures a date with the enigmatic man, even if he won’t know her identity at the masked fete.
Council leader Sebastian considers relationships a waste of time—until a gorgeous stranger accompanies him to a ball. Suddenly, he can’t stop thinking about the woman behind the mask who sets his body aflame.
Consumed with uncovering the tempting stranger’s identity, Sebastian observes similarities between his phantom lover and the quiet aristocrat he’s barely noticed for centuries. Could his mystery woman actually be…Celine?
Fueled by passion and anger, he confronts the stunning aristocrat, never realizing their fiery encounter might cement Sebastian’s fate for eternity…
Dear readers, this book is for all of you who requested Celine and Sebastian’s story after meeting them in Garridan’s Mate. If you love a sizzling romance about an oblivious but honorable hero and the heroine determined to gain his affection, this book is for you. Enjoy!
