Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Kerrelyn Sparks delivers the exciting conclusion in the Love at Stake series, where a Marine-turned-vampire finds love with the shifter princess forbidden to him.
Russell wakes from a coma to find he's become a vampire. Now he has a thirst for revenge. Determined to hunt down the master vampire who turned him, he's used to working alone - until he meets Jia. She is after the same vampire for murdering her parents and insists she can help Russell on this mission. Reluctantly, he agrees, and sets up some ground rules:
Rule #1: Their partnership is strictly business. If he holds her a little too close . . . if she looks at him with those exotic eyes . . . well, that has to stop.
Rule #2: He's in charge. Jia isn't used to taking orders and questions every move he makes. So he stops her the only way he knows how.
Rule #3: Don't fall in love. But the kiss that was supposed to quiet her awakens something else in him . . . something forbidden. Because Jia is engaged. To someone else.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sparks (How to Seduce a Vampire (Without Really Trying)) brings the 16-book Love at Stake paranormal romance series to a deeply satisfying, delightfully swoon-inducing close. Russell Hankelburg's last clear memories of his life before becoming a vampire were of the war in Vietnam. When he woke 39 years later with a slave mark on his wrist, it was to a new world devoid of everything he ever loved. His only mission became to kill Master Han, the vampire who created him. Then he runs afoul of a were-tiger with the exact same mission. Jia's determined to kill the man who murdered her family, and she'll stop at nothing to achieve her goal. As Russell and Jia team up, their relationship grows organically into a rich romance full of vulnerability and tenderness. The detailed story is filled with little callbacks to the earlier books, but first-time readers will have no trouble picking things up, while fans will want to go back and savor the entire series from the beginning.
