Overview
Grad student Savannah Evans is thrilled to be accepted as a resident to a
prestigious art colony. Where else would she be able to focus on her
craft of writing poetry in a setting like that of the medieval-styled
castle? The remote New England island is a respite from her hectic city
life. When she meets her benefactor, a mysterious French sculptor, her
expectations for carefree days writing near the ocean are distracted by
unprofessional fantasies about her sponsor.
Antoine Chevalier built Les Beaux Arts on DeRoche Island to bring purpose back to an existence that has lost meaning. He’s wandered the earth for decades and finds solace in returning to art. When Savannah applies for a residency, something about her words touches him. After her arrival, a physical attraction grows between them, which he struggles against. She deserves more than someone of his kind.
Antoine proposes they become lovers during her stay. But the situation turns complicated when Savannah discovers his secret. She had suspicions about his identity, but finds the truth overwhelming. Consumed by her desire for Antoine and faced with a tough decision, she is blind to the danger that has arrived at DeRoche Island.

**Review**
Looking
for a sexy vampire novel? If so, then this is definitely a must buy!
Why? First off, it's set in a medieval castle on an island off the
coast of New England. The author's description was so detailed that
once I finished, I did a Google search of castles that I'd like to
visit. Second thru ninety-five (The number of pages the book has!):
The insanely hot chemistry between the female protagonist Savannah &
vampire Antoine. Their intensity starts off right away and you're not a
chapter in before it takes off like a rocket. Slight S&M with
love involved? Sounds perfect! My only complaint was the length,
because I definitely want to find out more about the world the author
created.
