Aethelthryth has been hunted for centuries by the vampire slayer Lazlo Enyedi, yet Ethel, as her modern-day Manhattan neighbors know her, finds him with no memory of who or what either of them is.
The vampire he has tried to kill is the only person who can help, and he crashes on her couch, solving her sudoku puzzles and looking at her like an eternal flame without the threat of ash.
Day to day he is simply the man in her home, not the slayer who has spent centuries trying to end her.
Their ancient hunt turns into forbidden passion between sworn enemies.
As his memories slowly return, Ethel realizes she might lose far more than her head.
