English Summary/英文概要： A novel of art, passion, and vampires.At the American Academy of Classical Art, popular opinion has it that the school’s handsome and mysterious founder, Raphael Sinclair, is a vampire. It is a rumor Rafe does nothing to dispel.
Scholarship student Tessa Moss has long dreamed of the chance to study at Rafe’s Academy. But she is floundering amidst the ups and downs of a relationship with egotistical art star Lucian Swain.
Then, one of Tessa’s paintings catches Rafe’s attention: a painting of a young woman in 1940s clothing who is covering the eyes of a child. The suitcase at her feet says Wizotsky. Sofia Wizotsky, the love of Rafe’s life, was lost during the Holocaust. Or was she? Rafe suspects Tessa may be the key to discovering what really happened.
As Rafe finds excuses to interact with Tessa, they quickly discover they cannot deny their growing attraction to one another. It is an attraction forbidden by the Academy Board and disapproved of by anyone familiar with Rafe’s playboy reputation and Tessa’s softhearted innocence. But what if fate has other plans for Tessa and Rafe? What if they break all rules to succumb to a carnal passion that defies history?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一部有关于艺术、激情和吸血鬼的小说。
传说在美国经典艺术学院中，学校最英俊和神秘的创始人拉斐尔•辛克莱尔是一名吸血鬼。对于这一传言，拉斐尔从来都没有击破过。
奖学金学生泰莎•摩斯一直以来都梦想着能够有机会进入拉斐尔的学校就读。但如今的她真忙于应付自己和狂妄自大的艺术之星卢西恩•斯旺复杂而跌宕起伏的关系。
然而泰莎的一幅画作却引起了拉斐尔的注意：一名身着20世纪40年代服饰的女人正缓缓合上一个孩子的双眼。女人脚边的箱子上写着维佐斯基。索菲亚•维佐斯基是拉斐尔毕生的挚爱，在大屠杀期间不幸丧命。真的是她吗？拉斐尔不禁怀疑，或许泰莎将是揭开过去一切秘密的关键。
当拉斐尔找寻机会接近泰莎后，两人都无法否认各自之间愈加强烈的吸引力。这份感情不仅是学院董事会所禁止的，但凡是对拉斐尔花花公子的名声有所耳闻和对泰莎的温柔与纯真有所了解的人都极力反对。但命运是否为泰莎和拉斐尔另有准备？倘若他们情愿打破一切游戏规则也要屈服于激情享乐，甚至不惜藐视历史？（DC）
