250 years ago, Dalys Aldgate received the ultimate gift-a journey to the Other Side. Dalys became a mirror upon which the living can project their fantasies, never seeing the "monster" on the mirror's other side. Ex-cop Tia Martell is a freelance photographer trying to put the years of violence and death behind her. While on assignment, murder brings her face-to-face with Dallas Allgate, the coldest, most fascinating man she has ever met. Before Tia can unravel Dallas' mystery, a vampire seeks him out for revenge. St. James only wants Dallas' true death until he sees Tia. Now he wants her, too.
