She saved his life. Now she must save him from what he's becoming.
Street criminal Alexander Hart is sure he's done for when he's caught stealing a lord's wallet. But Irene, the lord's daughter, convinces her father to give Alex a second chance—employment as a servant in their household.
Irene is cursed. Her ability to feel other people's emotions overwhelms her, triggering violent seizures that have left her isolated and misunderstood. Alex is the first person she's ever met who doesn't think she's insane. Or worse—possessed.
When Alex falls ill with a disease no doctor can explain, Irene risks her father's fury to help him. But what begins as compassion becomes something far more dangerous. Sharp canines. An obsession with blood. An unquenchable thirst growing stronger by the day.
He's becoming something inhuman. And she may be the only one who can reach him before he's lost entirely.
