Summary

Dayan, guitar player and singer in the band Dark Troubadours, recognizes his lifemate when telepathic widow Corinne Wentworth walks into the bar where he is singing. She has a heart condition that could end her life at any time, and she is also a target of the people who killed her husband. Dayan cannot turn her into a Carpathian until her daughter is born, but there is a question of whether it will be strong enough to withstand her transformation from human to Carpathian even if she does survive the pregnancy. It is a struggle to keep her alive, with several Carpathians joining Dayan to keep Corinne and her baby alive and safe.
