When landscape gardener Josephine Quint meets him for the first time, she doesn't expect him to put a knife to her throat. She has no idea that her current workplace is none other than the estate of the secret guardian vampires, and that Quint, their head of security, distrusts everyone. Yet, after a long period of loneliness and sorrow, tender feelings begin to blossom for the tough, woman-hating guy. Jo could be Quint's redemption from the hatred and guilt following his brother's death, which has transformed the once humorous and likable Quint into a hardened, woman-hating man. But Quint is increasingly losing control over himself. His distrust and the secrets of both soon have devastating consequences for Jo as well. Will Quint destroy his own happiness and, in doing so, also the life of Jo, who has touched his heart so deeply? A standalone novel in the "Immortal" series.
