Tainted Heaven

Taking a bullet in the head, this man's life changes from one of wealth to one of poverty. He has no life in him. His heart feels dead. Lauren -- the love of his life -- dead. The man wants nothing more than to curl up and die.
But the man has a past and vampire Radu needs him to remember.

The point sharp / the weapon slamming home / blood exploded / a new opening above her heart / naked flesh / red liquid / blotches of ink on paper / a final gasp.
