"unique fresh romantic fantasy"

Although he knows cross species romances are usually doomed, vampire Colin Ames-Beaumont is attracted to human Savitri Murray from the first moment he saw her. Even though he knows there are rare times that forbidden relationship works due to the courage of the participants, he realizes that can not be for him because even vampires believe his unblood is tainted with the curse of Chaos.

When she swallows nosferatu blood, she becomes ill with a nasty life threatening fever, but remarkably recovers. The blood of the undead has left Savi with incredible physical anilities unheard of for a mortal. Colin decides he can at least share a friendship with his beloved until she finds her mate. However, Savi has doubts any male human can keep up with her enhanced physical skills nor would they want too; besides she wants Colin, but fears telling him will end their friendship. When a demon from Chaos threatens both of them, they team up in love to battle their powerful adversary.

Savi brings a unique freshness to the romantic fantasy realm especially the star-crossed romance between vampire and mortal. The story line is action-packed from the onset, but fully driven by the relationship between the lead couple who bond when the demonic peril assaults them. Sub-genre fans will appreciate this creative return to Brook's world (see DEMON ANGEL).

Savi Murray's insatiable curiosity had gotten her into trouble before, but she'd always escaped unscathed. Then came Colin. In the midst of Heaven, he gave her a taste of ecstasy—and of Chaos. Deadly creatures from that realm herald the return of an imprisoned nosferatu horde, and Colin and Savi's bond is their only protection—and their only passion...
