   Summary

   Her fingers brushed mine as she passed me the gloves, and I was shocked to find that her hand, somehow, was colder than my own. As I took the gloves from her I caught her gaze, and felt then with a sudden, chilling certainty--though I could not say how--that she knew exactly what I was.

   Grappling with her status as a newly-turned vampire, Mrs. de Winter hopes her marriage to Maxim can provide some security with regards to her "condition." But she quickly realizes she's out of her depth in society life—and life as a vampire—and finds herself turning to the one person she can trust for help.

   That is, provided Mrs. Danvers can keep her secret.
