Julian Savage, the twin brother of Aidan (Dark Gold), is sent to warn a young singer, Desari, that she and her band have come under suspicion by a fanatical vampire hunting society.
Julian instantly knew he had found his lifemate because of his ability to see in colour, accompanied by the return of emotions.
Julian rushes in to find three of the band members, including Desari, lying amongst blood-spattered instruments.
To save her life, Julian heals her wounds and provides her with a large volume of his blood, while performing the ritual to bind Desari to him.
Julian gathers the bodies, reduces them to ashes and scatters them into the ocean in an effort to throw off the vampire hunting society.
