At 19, Clara Graves left Necessity, Texas, to try to heal her broken heart. She swore she would never come back, and she's kept that promise. Until now. When she returns for her uncle's funeral, she inherits a small oil company that may keep her tied to Necessity for a few days longer than she expected. But as soon as she can close or sell the business, she's pointing her boots toward greener pastures.

When her mother remarried and moved them to a town where a date meant hanging out at the Sonic, Laney figured that "boring" would have a whole new meaning.

Especially since he had wings that only she could see.

But those plans disintegrate when she walks in on a vampire sucking the blood from her fiancé, Greg. Horrified, she screams and runs - not away from the vampire, but toward it, brandishing a wooden letter opener.

Ripped from the arms of the man she loves, Clara returns to her family, and her fiancé.... Can she live without Travis? Can she put aside the once-in-a-lifetime love they shared and be a good wife to a husband 163 years in the past? Or, will she ignore the warnings and follow her heart?

Clara was born with a veil, and the ability to see into the future. This much she knows. What she doesn't know is what other gifts will be revealed when she turns 18 in a few months. While her grandmother has been diligent in her efforts to prepare her for the inevitable changes to come, Clara can focus on precious little besides the devilishly handsome man she met at her coming out ball.
