Arson forces Gideon Keel and his human lovers, Jesse Madding and Emma Coolidge, to find a new home after all their possessions are destroyed. Jesse and Emma are drawn to a decaying mansion that once served as a boarding school, but has long since sat abandoned. With its winding halls and haphazard wings, its private chapel, and its two-story library, the house is too fascinating to refuse.<br><br>But something sinister lurks in those winding halls. Something violent and dark. Something that locks the house, steals Gideon’s memories, possesses Emma’s body, and threatens Jesse’s life on the evening of their housewarming party. As the night progresses and the body count increases, Jesse must find a way to stop Gideon from killing their friends. Even harder, Jesse must convince the vampire who doesn’t remember him, or the love the three of them share, to fight for their lives.

Jesse leaned against the counter as Gideon set the hot pan on the cooling rack. “Are we eating in here? Or are you doing this up right, and we should go wait for you in the dining room?”


“The table’s already set. I just haven’t lit the candles yet.”


Gideon nodded. “The wine’s on the table, too. If you want to pour yours and Jesse’s out, we’ll be right in with the food.”


Jesse swiped his finger along the edge of the ravioli plate and brought the sauce up to his lips. “Is dinner our only surprise for the night?”


Gideon smacked his hand away before he could steal a second taste. “Now that would be telling, wouldn’t it?”


“It would be a good kind of telling,” Emma called out from the dining room.


“She has a point.” Jesse abandoned his attempt to get into the food, focusing on Gideon instead. He hooked his fingers in Gideon’s waistband and offered an innocent smile. “What about a hint, then?”
