Morgan D'Arcy is an English lord, a classical pianist…and a vampire. He has everything except what he desires most—Isabeau. When she was a child, he appeared to her as the Angel Gabriel, guiding her life and career choice, preparing her to become Lady D'Arcy. Many forces, including Vampyre law, oppose Morgan’s daring plan. If discovered, he faces death—and so does Isabeau.
Isabeau Gervase, now a brilliant geneticist, no longer believes in angels. However, Gabriel made a mistake, leaving behind a lock of hair. She sees a Nobel Prize in his DNA. Her work has led to a startling conclusion. Gabriel isn't human, and she fully intends to identify the species she named the Angel Genome.
Morgan is ready to claim his heart’s desire. Will he outsmart his enemies, protect his beloved and escape death himself? For the first time in eternity, the clock is ticking.

From the day Isabeau Gervase was born Morgan Gabriel D’Arcy knew she would become his and bear his children and for thirty years he waited till she was grown and achieved all she wished for. As a child Isabeau knew Gabriel as her Guardian Angel and loved him but as she grew up and offered herself to him his refusal left her doubting, he ever existed. It was twelve years ago that he stopped appearing to her and now she put her childhood fantasy behind her.
The last time she saw him, and he refused her she took a scissor and cut her hair and his leaving her with a sample of him that as a geneticist she took to exam and that was when she learned that her Guardian Angel was not an angel and not human. She is determined to learn what he is, but her research was stolen and wound up in the hands of the vampire council. If her research could prove the existence of vampires, it would be disastrous, so she would have to die.
Morgan is a vampire and a world renown pianist, and he finally decided it was time to enter Isabeau’s life once again. When she sees Morgan, she is shocked how much he resembles Gabriel, but she will soon learn that there is much more going on than she could ever have imagined. While Morgan makes plans to reunite with the woman he has loved since birth there are enemies from his past that are determined to see him lose what he covets the most.
Isabeau is engaged to a man she does not love and when Morgan comes back into her life, she knows that she never loved him. Isabeau’s life is in danger because of his past and since he is asleep during daylight hours he relies on his manservant, Avery to watch her when he can’t. Avery is not a vampire and is no match for one but is willing to protect her at all costs. Avery knows that the love Morgan has for Isabeau is an eternal love, but a love destined to bring nothing but pain.
This was a doomed love story, about a human and a vampire whose love could light up the world but one that is riddled with so many obstacles. Morgan cherishes the kills and Isabeau can’t live with that so can Morgan give up what he needs to survive and if he does will Isabeau be willing to stay by his side.
Morgan’s beauty has made finding partners easy including a love from the past, a love he never reciprocated.
Isabeau’s fiancé, John, and her best friend Kirsty know nothing about what Morgan is but they both know that she is in danger and Morgan is the cause. Isabeau is being pulled in all directions but her love for Morgan blinds her to everything around her but him.
This was a love story for the ages but whether it is a HEA love story I won’t reveal. I will say that I would love to read more about Morgan and Isabeau and hopefully Ms. Nightingale is working on a sequel as I am writing this review.
I have always been a huge fan of vampire books, movies and TV shows and if you are like me then this book should be on your to read list.
