Alexandra Hart is content with her life in the small California coastal town of Santa del Sol. She is cocooned in the blanket of a close-knit community where everyone knows their neighbours, and hanging out at the beach or the board walk is a way of life. Living in the beach house and running the board walk shop left to her by her great aunt, Lexi has stability, security, and comfort. Rafferty O'Neill is a Master Vampire, with a small entourage of followers depending on him. Rafe chooses the quaint tourist town of Santa del Sol to set up his nest. The only thing standing in his way is a beautiful, spirited brunette shopkeeper who refuses to consider selling her home to him -- a home lying in the middle of his planned refuge. Can this mortal woman find happiness in the arms of a monster? Can a vampire find home, not inside a guarded casket, but inside a fragile human woman? Can both survive the twist and turns thrust upon them by fate and the creatures of the night?
