Penelope enters the Blood Choosing to clear her father's debts and becomes the wife of vampire heir Louis, the only human whose scent vanishes from his senses. Twelve years earlier she pulled a half-blood boy from a vampire tormentor and hid his silver cuff. Louis still aches for the girl he calls Pippy, refusing to love the woman beside him. When an impostor steps forward claiming that name, Penelope realizes her husband is the boy she rescued, yet a binding edict forbids her from revealing the cuff or her past.
