Off The Record

Knowledge is a dangerous weapon. Desire is a lethal vulnerability.

Logan knows the truth. He has stared into the eyes of the immortal queen controlling Sterling Industries and survived. But instead of running, his investigative instincts drive him deeper into the shadows. He agrees to keep Roxanne's dark secret on one condition: total, unfettered access. He wants to document exactly how deep the vampire roots claw into global infrastructure.

Roxanne plays a dangerous game, agreeing to his terms and pulling him into her inner circle under the guise of her high-level PR and media strategist. Bound by forced proximity, their late-night world travels to secret vampire council meetings in Paris and London turn into a battleground of intense pining and unyielding temptation. Behind her calculating, immortal exterior, Logan begins to glimpse a lonely, tragic human soul—and the line between journalist and lover blurs past the point of return.

But in the underbelly of immortal high society, secrets aren't the only things weaponized. A rival vampire cartel, The Crimson Board, smells blood in the water and realizes that the unyielding human man at Roxanne's side is her first real vulnerability in centuries.

When Logan is violently abducted to force Roxanne into surrendering her European shipping ports, corporate espionage turns into an absolute bloodbath. To save him, Roxanne must unleash her true, terrifying elder-vampire wrath, tearing the city apart piece by piece. She will protect her vulnerability—even if she has to burn her entire world to the ground to do it.

With Logan rescued, the walls between them finally crumble, and they give in to a brilliant, desperate passion. But their victory is short-lived. The fallback protocols Logan set in motion weeks ago as insurance have just been triggered. His managing editor at The Chronicle has intercepted his encrypted files, and the terrifying truth about Roxanne is a single keystroke away from going live to the world.
