The Heart of Talan

Once a queen, beautiful Talan Ashari has existed for centuries as a wealthy vampire, using human beings for food, sex, and as servants. Young professional Jessi Carpenter is nursing a broken heart when Talan, posing as Doctor Ashari, comes into her life and sweeps her off her feet with Old World flattery and irresistible charm. Jessi thinks she's found a pleasurable distraction from her pain. Talan thinks she's taken a new captive, to be used and then disposed of, as her past lovers have been. But something about Jessi is different, and Talan finds herself vulnerable in a way she hasn't been since her long-forgotten days as a human being. After her feelings for Jessi catapult her back into memories she'd forced herself to forget, Talan has to make an agonizing decision.
