Amaryllis Hart has lived a hard life. Falsely accused of theft, she decides to live the life thrown at her until one encounter throws her into a world she does not believe exists and into the arms of the immortal who steals her heart. Colin Butler, Dux of the Leeds Cynn Cruors and his second, Craig Shaw, return to Leeds abruptly after a secret Colin has been keeping for centuries, returns. In their attempts to keep it under wraps, another situation blows up in their faces, bringing Colin face to face with his past and his future-a violet eyed beauty who heals his soul. As luck would have it, Colin's secret is unearthed. To top it all, Dac Valerian and Herod D'Argyl are in Leeds and the Ancients' enforcer arrives to pass judgement on the Dux of the Leeds Cynn Cruors. Colin has to make the hardest decision of his life. Either he walks away from the past that will forever haunt him or make up for a past he had no control of and lose the woman he loves.
