Aris has taken over the human body of one of Sarahs patients so that he can be once again close to the only woman to have ever captured his heart. Sarahs once safe, quiet life working as a hypnotherapist in Chicago has been completely up-ended by Aris, a vampire whose story first began during the time of Alexander the Great.

And if that’s not enough to deal with, she is inexplicably drawn to Aris in a way she can’t begin to rationalize.About the Book Can true love survive despite the passage of centuries of time? Psychologist Sarah Hagan may have to pay the ultimate price to obtain the answer. Sarah genuinely cares about Carlos as a patient and wants to help him find his way to a better life, but he has brought chaos, confusion and danger into her neatly buttoned-up reality. The dreams both terrify and excite her as she struggles to make sense out of her world turned upside down. They awake the emotion, passion and vulnerability that she thought she had buried for good. On top of grappling with a phantom vampire, Sarah begins to have the most disturbing (and sensual) dreams. His retelling of his lives, involvement and apparent demise in the court of Henry VIII keep her spellbound and hungry for more. Aris reveals that he is a vampire whose story begins in the time of Alexander the Great. Is this some elaborate alter ego that Carlos has created or is something much stranger going on? In Sarah’s attempt to help Carlos deal with his issues of anger and a troubled past, she is captivated by the persona she uncovers through hypnosis Aris. As she regresses him with hypnotherapy, she discovers an unusual presence. It only takes one patient - a handsome younger man named Carlos who is on parole for car theft - to put her well-ordered life into a tailspin. From the outside, it looks like her life is almost perfect. She has a few good friends, lives in a beautiful condo in the heart of Chicago, and loves her work as a therapist. She’s currently dating a successful but neglectful attorneya relationship that is adequate, if not totally satisfying. She pulled herself together after a painful (and unexpected) divorce.

Psychologist Sarah Hagan thought she had her life under control.
