Book Description

Series: Harlequin Temptation | Publication Date: May 1, 1995

A vampire, his Shade and an ancient evil...

Willow Evans doesn't believe in vampires until she discovers that Jonathan Raven doesn't cast a reflection in a mirror. She doesn't believe in ghosts, either, until she traps Johnny, Raven's Shade, in a mirror.

Neither Johnny nor Raven can really exist, yet they do -- and so does Nekhat, an Egyptian vampire unearthed in the Valley of the Kings in 1878. Nekhat wants Raven and his moonstone ring.

Johnny loves Willie without condition. Raven needs her to regain his mortality. Which one will she choose? And will she make her choice before Nekhat finds Raven and the moonstone ring?

Review from The Romance Studio:

I loved this book. The story was absolutely riveting and I couldn't put it down until I had read it cover to cover. The premise of the split vampire was brilliant and actually made a lot of sense. Raven, who was utterly amoral and clinging to a slim hope based solely on what he remembered about being human was the ultimate sympathetic hero. Johnny, the incorporeal shade of Raven, was everything good and sweet, but as a stand alone hero would not have made the grade. Combine the two and hello, you have got perfection...Lynn Michaels is an author I would definitely like to hear more from especially in this genre. This is an excellent quick, fun and intense read that I highly recommend.
-- Wendy Mitchell, reviewer

This review is from: Nightwing (Secret Fantasies) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

Willow Evans has always been attached to Beaches, her Grandmother's house on Cape Cod. Even as a little girl the charming cottage was a paradise and "Willie" was left to imagine a pirate playmate roaming the beaches of the Cape Cod house along side her travels. Left as an inheritance Willow intends to keep her grandmother's house intact and live there as she always dreamed. But Doctor Jonathan Raven has other plans. He wants that house. There is something within that house that will allow him to become whole again. He is a nightwalker, a drinker of blood, and he needs his "shade"/soul who was ripped from him centuries ago and who now wanders the house Willow so lovingly protects. He needs to perform the ritual that will return him to the Human race... But his shade is confused. As a "shade" Johnny has roamed Beaches for years, returning there with no inclination of who he was or how he became the way he is. He is terrified of the man who looks like him but is not him but he does not know why. He has been watching over Willow and until now, has not been noticed by her as he can only been seen in mirrors... A shame this was not published through a bigger company. It did not deserve to die a month after its release. A terrific read. No one who likes Vampire tales will want to pass up the opportunity to find this book and read it. It was well written and has a terrific plot. ISBN- 0-373-25642-6
