After a three-hour drive to Charleston, South Carolina, she finds herself quietly sitting on a park bench overlooking the harbor. Suddenly, Eve hears a scream from the owner of a small dog that has just jumped from its owner's arms. Having spent her entire life guarding her speech patterns, Eve wastes no time in commanding the dog to stop and to return to its owner.

What happens when greed, vengeance, and the thirst for power try to take over her life?
Eve is forced to learn who she can trust. Her mother is a given, and possibly Kenny. But what about the Werewolves and Vampires who are fierce rivals? Will she be able to trust them?
In the end, will Eve find her happily ever after? Doesn't everybody deserve one?
