Neither human stripper Sundown nor virgin were-halfbreed Serena knew how their futures would change when catalyst vampire Devlin Dalcon walked into their lives. Sundown was just looking to party and forget her tragic past; Serena was hoping for excitement and love, to be swept away from the dull routine of her short-order cook job and solitary life. Will these very different women finally face their fears in time to seize their own dreams of happiness?

A chain of tragic events cumulating in the shattering of the magical "dream bond" between Theo and Sar turns the lovers against one another, as Ulysses attacks from all fronts, hoping to destroy Devlin for good. The return of Lash reignites the fire between he and Sar, even as he saves her daughter Elle from certain death. Finally joined under Oath, Lash, Devlin, and Sar face the storm of Ulysses's wrath, knowing it will take their combined strength and courage to save all they love from his tempest of vengeance.

College student Elle has always dreamed of having her own life and a love to call her own. Yet haunted by past transgressions, the lovely young werecougar is terrified to share her body or soul with another...until a sorceress tempts her into sharing an anonymous dream with a legendary lover, the vampire Lord Devlin. Shocked by her newly awakened desire, Elle flees to her childhood home, finding comfort in her memories and the company of friends while evading trophy hunters...until the night dhamphir Elijah arrives, offering her his heart with the gift of a golden choker. Will Elle be brave enough to seize the true love that's been denied her so long?

When a simple loving encounter with Devlin raises the ghost of his long-dead paramour, Rene, Sarelle intervenes, saving Rene's soul from the demon Shaker. Forced to share her body with Rene, Sarelle works diligently with the sorceress's ghost to magically build her a new body, even as attacks by vampire hunters escalate, threatening all Sarelle holds dear. As Hayden's defenses crumble, Sarelle magically escapes certain death only to become Michael's prisoner along with Lash. Faced with an eternity of captivity and Lash's impending death, Sarelle forges a Hellish pact, changing her life forever.

Sarelle's return to her loved ones brings a brief measure of solace, even as she mourns all that changed in her absence. Rene's presence and Sar's pact with Shaker add as much tension as comfort, as the delicate balance of Sar's life threatens to collapse under the weight of all she endured as Michael's prisoner. Determined to reclaim her life, Sar fights back, inadvertently sparking Danial's memory as an unseen ancient enemy prepares to strike a fatal blow.
