Summary: In his search for immortality...
Review: Alexandre Chaubere has found the secret of a rare plant called the Everlasting Lily. However, after over 200 years, he finds the price too high and resolves to invent a cure--or die trying...

The moment single mom Olivia Travanelle takes on the landscaping job at his mansion, her presence appears to induce an accelerated reaction in his experiments. It seems that any time spent in her presence causes his 'immortal platelet' count to drop significantly, but it also causes him to experience severe physical distress. As he finds himself craving her more & more, will their love prove to be the ultimate solution to regaining his mortality, or be his fatal demise?

The story had a bit of a gothic flavor which added mystery to the story. Overall, I found myself liking its originality. Also recommended is Terry Lynn Wilhelm's "Shadow Prince."

Summary: I don't know about "originality"...
Review: The book borrows a bit from the HIGHLANDER TV series in its basic premise and characters (Duncan, Tessa and Ritchie are all there in one form or another), but the book is basically a good romance, nonetheless. Lots of nice atmosphere.
