Prologue

Seventeen year-old Susan Barker had always been a loner, never staying in one place long enough to get close to anyone. But when she meets John, Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome in the elevator of the only place she sometimes calls home, her world gets turned upside down. John is a vampire and not one of those "monsters" that twinkle like stars, a blood sucking creature that bursts into flames when touched by sunlight, and he has marked her. Showing every other creature of the Dark that she is his and only his. And who is the guy she briefly met in the parking garage? And why does she think she knows him when she has never seen him before in her life? Susan's world was shattered and amidst the chaos and the pieces she has to learn to put her trust, and her heart in the only person who cares enough to save her.
