  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light....&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Was he a man...or a miracle?&lt;/i&gt;

Alexandria Houton would sacrifice anything---even her life---to protect her orphaned little brother. But when both encountered unspeakable evil in the swirling San Francisco mists, Alex could only cry to heaven for their deliverance...

And out of the darkness swooped Aidan Savage, a golden being more powerful, more mysterious than any other creature of the night.  The ageless Carpathian male snatched them from a hideous fate.  But was Aidan a miracle...or a monster?  Alex's salvation...or her sin?  If she surrendered to Aidan's savage, unearthly seduction--gave him color, the light, the family he craved---would Alex truly save her brother?  Or sacrifice more than her life? </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I wanted to clarify my previous poor review.<br/><br/>I had too many problems with this book. First, the author immediately throws me out of the story by jumping between Point of Views in the same scene.

It seems that Alexandria and Aidan get to know each other before they have sex (what a concept); she doesn't seem as whiny, and he doesn't seem as demanding.
