In 2160 Paris, Zarafina "Zara" of Sherbrook realizes she overslept by over a century, as the millenniums age old vampire learns what year it is. No matter, she plans to see the highlights of the night life so that she can feed and make love. However, first she thinks back to her last awakening in Boulder in 2004 where she meets the human musician Niven St. Clair at a club. He shows no fear of her, and he informs her he dreamed of making love with her until she would scream in ecstasy the name Jeran. She is stunned by his revelation, as Jeran is her late lover who converted her, but ultimately chose to die. Zara and Niven begin to make love when she realizes somehow Jeran has possessed the humans body. What to do about her former lover remains her dilemma.

This is a terrific jocular E-book chick lit (Zara's first person perspective) vampire thriller that grips the audience early on, with Zara's muses and the heat between her and Niven-Jeran, and never lets readers go until the final shocking biting twist. Though a short story, readers will want to peruse future supernatural fiction by Lynda Hilburn, as this is a superb paranormal short story thriller.
