Ashes for Beauty

Lily Wright knew everything would change the night she gave her blood to save Gabriel Martin's life. Still, she wasn't prepared for all the complications loving a vampire would bring. Now she is trying to balance the demands of her "normal" life as a doctoral student, daughter, and friend, while adjusting to the new normal - a boyfriend who is struggling to control his craving for her blood, a best friend who is more overprotective than ever now that he knows vampires really do exist, and - oh yeah - burgeoning psychic abilities that may end up being more deadly to her than the mysterious vampires who are out to kill Gabriel's sire, including anyone who might try to stand in their way. In this continuation of the romance that began in Through A Glass Darkly, Lily and Gabriel fight to hang on to the beauty of their love, even as the world seems to be burning down around them.
