Simone now has more at stake than just her life. Especially when there's feeding involved. Only, it's never been that simple with Simone and Lucien, and all too soon the lines between pretend and real get very blurry. Lucien agrees to enter himself as a master-looking-for-a-mate in the Selection so they can pretend to fall for each other.

Okay, yeah, he's a snarly, powerful, frustratingly perfect master himself, but at least she knows where she stands. Lucky for her, she still has one ally up her sleeve: Lucien. A master who is looking for a mate and wants Simone to participate in the Selection to prove her worth. Turns out that the last time she was there, her teeny tiny mistake sent out an energy burst that called to an ancient powerful master. Then a summons back to Valdor-the vampire world- is dropped in her lap. She'd been there, done that, and had the near death experience to show for her time. Simone, of the Torma shifters, thought she was finished with the world of supernaturals that existed outside of Earth. Best read after Deserted for storyline continuity.
