Revenge of the Court Jester

Part of the Ancient Blood series. With a body from heaven and a face from hell, Sadavis Baptista balances between two lives - one as a prize-fighting sculptor and another as a special forces agent for the vampire Network. By chance Esmeralda Giordano finds herself at a professional fighting match where she is instantly attracted to a magnificent beast of a man known to fans as "The Court Jester". It's lust at first sight for Sadavis and Esmeralda, but their budding love affair is cut short when he is betrayed by a fellow agent. Imprisoned, tortured and near death, Sadavis performs a dangerous magical spell that prevents him from supplying information to his enemies. The effects of this spell linger long after he is set free. Sadavis' mind slowly fractures and he must depend on Esmeralda to help him regain his sanity. Will their love be strong enough or will Sadavis be lost forever?
