But as he  hunts the dark streets of Paris for prey, a voice calls to him,  soothing, calming, giving him the strength to control his  craving.

    <![CDATA[Gabriel wakes deep within the ground, and the first  sensation he feels is an overwhelming hunger for blood. But as he  hunts the dark streets of Paris for prey, a voice calls to him,  soothing, calming, giving him the strength to control his  craving. Francesca Del Ponce is a healer, a woman who radiates  goodness as powerfully as the sun does light. Though Garbriel knows  she will be like hot silk in his arms, though he knows the taste of  her will be addictive, he fears for her life and his soul if he takes  her. Then with one mind-shattering vow she gives herself-- I offer  freely, without reservation, I offer my life for yours as is my  right--and with a firestorm of long-forgotten feelings, he glimpses  salvation.

    <![CDATA[Gabriel wakes deep within the ground, and the first  sensation he feels is an overwhelming hunger for blood. But as he  hunts the dark streets of Paris for prey, a voice calls to him,  soothing, calming, giving him the strength to control his  craving. Francesca Del Ponce is a healer, a woman who radiates  goodness as powerfully as the sun does light. Though Garbriel knows  she will be like hot silk in his arms, though he knows the taste of  her will be addictive, he fears for her life and his soul if he takes  her. Then with one mind-shattering vow she gives herself-- I offer  freely, without reservation, I offer my life for yours as is my  right--and with a firestorm of long-forgotten feelings, he glimpses  salvation.

    <![CDATA[Gabriel wakes deep within the ground, and the first  sensation he feels is an overwhelming hunger for blood. But as he  hunts the dark streets of Paris for prey, a voice calls to him,  soothing, calming, giving him the strength to control his  craving. Francesca Del Ponce is a healer, a woman who radiates  goodness as powerfully as the sun does light. Though Garbriel knows  she will be like hot silk in his arms, though he knows the taste of  her will be addictive, he fears for her life and his soul if he takes  her. Then with one mind-shattering vow she gives herself-- I offer  freely, without reservation, I offer my life for yours as is my  right--and with a firestorm of long-forgotten feelings, he glimpses  salvation. Love Spell Book Club selection!  ]]>
