The stranger silently summons her from across the continents, across the seas. He whispers of eternal torment, of endless hunger…of dark, dangerous desires. And somehow American surgeon Shea O'Halloran can feel his anguish, sense his haunting aloneness, and she aches to heal him, to heal herself. Drawn to the far Carpathian mountains, Shea finds a ravaged, raging man, a being like no other. And her soul trembles. For in his burning eyes, his icy heart, she recognizes the beloved stranger who's already become part of her. This imperious Carpathian male compels Shea to his side. But is she to be his healer…or his prey? His victim…or his mate? Is he luring her into madness…or will his dark desire make her whole?
