When Brandon Roland's parents kicked him out for being gay, he turned to prostitution to get byâsomething that almost cost him his life when he was attacked by strangers. Bran was saved by a vampire named Heath, and during their year together, Bran's life was goodâbut then Heath sent him packing for reasons unknown. That was twelve years ago, and Bran's come a long way since then. He has an education, a job as a social worker at a vampire/human youth shelter, friends, and a tattoo he adds to annually to commemorate another year without the love of his life. The trouble with being a very old vampire is that the older you are, the less you feel. Heath is over nine hundredâhe was sure he'd never experience emotion again, but he never counted on Bran. When Heath accidentally stumbles back into Bran's life, it changes more than either man thought possibleâand then history literally catches up with them and turns their lives inside out.
