Mistakes in his distant past force Joshua MacAaron to lead a solitary existence, but after centuries spent in the company of Mother Nature and her children, his soul becomes inexplicably entwined with that of a profoundly innocent mortal. Unable to resist her pull, he resigns himself to an unwanted love hunt, but is unable to conquer his fear of her rejection. When his reluctance to tell her the truth leads to tragedy, he's faced with the necessity of letting her go. Katie's impoverished lifestyle and constant struggle to survive keeps her mind and heart occupied until a handsome Scotsman disrupts her simple plans.
Drawn in by his gentle ways, she prays for the day he asks for her hand, but a horrific twist of fate reveals his vampire state in the worst possible way. Instinctive fear drives a wedge between them that only determination and love is able to break. Their happiness is too-quickly shattered when a hunter attacks Community vampires near Haven's Realm, calling Joshua to the defense of his clan. When he disappears and is declared dead, she is left alone to defend her destiny against the dictates of his Council. This novel is a complete rewrite of Twilight Destiny, Haven's Realm 1.
