Successful Boston-based magazine editor Vivienne Starr never expected to find her old high-school flame, Roger ‘RJ' Bloodstock, at her 20-year high school reunion. The handsome young man who had stolen her heart at seventeen vanished after graduation without a word of explanation, leaving her heartbroken and hesitant to ever become involved with another man again. But when RJ materializes at the affair, looking exactly as she remembered him twenty years ago, her life begins to spin out of control.

Meanwhile, a charming forty-three-year-old widower and father of two, Daniel Dillon, arrives at her office for an interview for the magazines advertising department. Instantly the two hit it off and are wildly attracted to each other, and begin a passionate affair.

Knowing every time she meets up with RJ it makes her ill, Vivienne tries to resist his powerful charm, but her pity for him soon brings him closer to her as he continues to drain her of her blood and good health.

Daniel is at his wit's end trying to keep all those around him safe from harm, doling out necklaces with crosses on them in some vain hope it will keep the demon away. But he soon finds out he is powerless to help Vivienne and keep her safe, until one fateful night when a confrontation is inevitable.

Will Daniel manage to conquer RJ and save all his loved ones from the dangerous fiend, or will RJ claim his lost love, Vivienne, and bring back the connection he lost in his youth?

In a deadly game, it's the Vampire who has all the advantages in the night.
