Another name in another city; Mason Standing feels he's in the twilight of life...if his life would end. That's why his torturous existence makes so much sense. An angel who fell with Satan didn't deserve comfort and happiness. Mason exists; he no longer lives. Until he meets a pair of hazel eyes...then his bitterness turns to desire for this artist, Oasis Jones, who can steal his breath with just her touch. But his past won't let him rest. The Devil would find him here too, in the sordid French Quarter of New Orleans just like he found Mason in every other place in the world for centuries. This eternal vendetta would not be satisfied until Mason would see another he cared for dying in his arms as she is sacrificed to the Devil as the purest of blood on earth. It was time to take a stand - starting with the voodoo shop down the street. And this time, she wouldn't be lost, unless Mason was.
