Gianna Logan's life outside her cage has become a routine filled with both comfort and loneliness. While her friendship with the vampire Alice continues to grow, Gianna misses the strength of her husbands, Eric Logan and Jason Bellmont.
Through the days that follow, Jason assists Gianna with her control as they reestablish their bond. In her second husband, Gianna finds the love she craves, and through him, she begins to uncover the possibilities conveyed by her own inner strength. Her heart is drawn to emotion, to its ebb and flow through the people around her, and as her mind slowly heals, she catches tantalizing glimpses into the secret desires and heartaches of the ones she loves, whether they wish her to or not.
While she struggles to become whole and understand the memories torturing her mind, Gianna comes to believe that she can only do so through the united love of her husbands. Their bond is failing, however, tainted by jealousy over Gianna's affections and each man's place in her heart, and if that bond breaks, Gianna is certain she'll lose not only them, but her best chance at recovering fully from the nightmare still holding her in its grip.
