Midnight Harvest by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro

Description: Four policemen were gathered around a still figure lying on the shore, his sodden clothing badly ripped, the side of his face skinned to the bone. Blood ran sluggishly from grisly injuries. As Rowena approached, one of the officers knelt down and took Saint-Germain's wrist, trying to find a pulse. He shook his head.
Rowena was shaken at the extent of the damage she saw. She knelt down next to him and leaned over, trying not to see the shredded skin and exposed tissue. "You have to breathe," she whispered urgently. "They'll call the coroner if you don't breathe..."

With her alluring saga of Saint-Germain, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro established the rich, gothic tradition that would be followed years later by Anne Rice and Laurell K. Hamilton. Blending the dark eroticism of the vampire with riveting adventure in history's most compelling locales, the story of Saint-Germain is the enduring drama of a lonely hero who walks the earth throughout time, battling for honor…and love.

MIDNIGHT HARVEST

In the mid-1930s, Ferenc Ragoczy, le Comte de Saint-Germain, resides in Spain, where he owns a thriving aircraft factory. But when Spain plunges into civil war and Fascists commandeer the plant, the vampire Saint-Germain is forced to flee to America.

A world away from the horrors of the Spanish Civil War in "civilized" San Francisco, Rowena Saxon, a lover from his past, waits for him. A woman whose beauty has matured in the fullness of time, Rowena must now decide if she is ready for "the life"-to become an immortal vampire.
