And when one of his nightly feedings is blamed on her, Val finds herself up to her neck in trouble, literally. Now, to top it off, Bledinoff wants to make her a member of his clan ... and the trouble is that the nights go on for months this far north!"--Page 4 of cover During a trip to the Yukon in the midst of the Gold Rush to visit her late father's ex-mistress, Valentine Lovelace encounters Vasily Vladovitch Bledinoff, a suave vampire
