The Taker

"On the midnight shift at a hospital in rural Maine, Dr. Luke Findley is expecting another quiet evening of frostbite and the occasional domestic dispute. Until a mysterious woman arrives in his ER escorted by the police--Lanore McIlvrae is a murder suspect--and Luke's life is changed forever. Her impassioned account begins at the turn of the nineteenth century, when an all-consuming love drove her to pay a steep price--an immortal bond that chains her to a terrible fate for all eternity."-- Back cover
