Warning: This book is meant for mature readers who are 18+. It contains explicit language, and graphic sexual content: A murderer is running rampant in a small New England town. Detective Jennie Carlson is in charge of the investigation. She has been on many a crime scene but has never seen anything like this: the victims are young females, their bodies dumped in the alley behind local bars with no sign of assault or struggle. The only clue is the puncture wounds on their necks. One evening while investigating on her own the hair on the back of her neck stands up as the sound of a bottle being kicked echoes off the walls of the alley; a disembodied laugh circles her. Fear and panic set in when a tall, sexy stranger named Zachariah Sinclair appears. He commands her to leave and Jennie finds herself involuntarily obeying; leaving the alley and heading for safety. Sexy Zachariah harbors a dangerous secret: he's a creature of the night who feasts on the blood of innocents. He also knows who is committing the murders: the vampire who, over a hundred years ago, murdered his fiancée and made him what he is. Zachariah wants to know he is back and wreaking havoc on the small town. Determined to bring the killer to justice Jennie turns to Zachariah for help. The sexual attraction is undeniable and she finds herself tumbling headlong into a dangerous love affair. As the body count rises, the passion between them mounts and the flame of their desire is ignited. When a scorned lover plots to get Zachariah back, the intimate world they created crashes down around them and their love is put to the test. With Jennie's life hanging in the balance Zachariah must sacrifice himself to save the woman he loves or risk losing her forever.
