Concerto in Crimson (Paperback)

Massimo Serenus Forte, head of the powerful Forte World Corporation, has found sanctuary in a southern Canadian city. There he is drawn to a concert cellist, Carmen Valerio, and they find they have much in common. But Massimo has a dark secret-his family is what myth and folklore have called vampires throughout the ages. Could she possibly love him back? Massimo quickly learns that Carmen is deeply troubled, forcing him to keep silent about his true nature. The crimes of a deviant vampire are invading her dreams, and she experiences the deaths of the monster's victims. Massimo knows he must put a stop to the mad vampire's killing spree before he loses Carmen completely. Only then can he pray that she could forgive him. Massimo is prepared to take full blame. After all-he is the Ancient One, and father to all vampires.
