Dr. Nikolav Sarkozy has had centuries to perfect his arrogance, but his cold vampire soul is no match for the beautifully joyful ER doctor, Francesca Banetti.

Cursed never to drink blood or enjoy pleasure from a human again until he finds his mate, Niko has lived an extremely lonely vampire life. When he walks into Mercy General Hospital and meets Francesca, his penance crashes down around him.

Francesca is a healer, but with her haunted past, she keeps her witch status hidden. While she excels at saving lives, she flourishes when infusing her magic into food, doting on her niece and nephew, and teasing Niko, of course.

Niko is everything bleak and miserable. Francesca is laughter, light, and love. He craves her but denies the ancient instinct whispering she belongs to him. But when a sinister demon threatens her and her family, he steps up and vows to protect them. He had no idea she would tear down the chains around his soul.

Seven hundred years is an awfully long time to be alone. Perhaps the time has come to find his enchanted mate.

Niko is essentially a vampire with PTSD and was then cursed by witches. Frankie is a doctor and kitchen witch with some trauma of her own. Frankie made her attraction to Niko clear but he shot her down. But unknown to her the decline wasn’t because he didn’t like her, more because he wants her too much but is afraid that she won’t feel the same intense tug.

When Frankie and her niece and nephew are involved in a car accident, Niko jut about loses his mind and becomes uber protective. He essentially moved them in with him while she recovers.

As the story unfolds Niko and Frankie’s supernatural traits become evident to each other and as more attempts are made on Frankie’s life and those connected to her, Niko has to learn that he has to gamble on losing her to win her.

There were a few confusing things in the storyline, such as does Frankie become immortal if she mates with Niko? However, I did enjoy the telepathy and the kids attitude to the paranormal world was quite sweet and refreshing. The opposites attract storyline between Gia and a certain werewolf is calling to me and I really hope that Augustus gets a HEA too!
