Publisher Description
One minute Leigh was walking home in the early hours of the morning, and the next a vampire was sinking his teeth into her neck. It turns out he was a rogue vampire already marked for termination ... but that doesn't do Leigh any good. The damage has already been done: she's become one of them.
Lucian Argeneau, rogue vampire hunter, has been alive for over two thousand years, and there's not much that can excite him anymore. Food has become tasteless, sex is ordinary, life is increasingly bland. Then Leigh drops into his life, and suddenly he finds himself craving coffee ... and imagining the sassy brunette atop the black satin sheets of his lovely big bed! It's Lucian's job to teach Leigh about being immortal, a task made more difficult as tutoring her ignites a fire in him that hasn't burned for centuries.
But until they stop a renegade bloodsucker from destroying the human race, the passion will have to wait!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sands's delightful sixth visit with the Argeneaus (following A Bite to Remember), a clan of vampires living across present-day North America, features bitter, world-weary Lucian, a bloodsucker preoccupied with hunting down rogue vamps to protect the family and to hide centuries-old grief for his dead wife and children. The depressed vampire finds a new lease on immortality when he becomes involved with Leigh Gerard, an independent woman fleeing an abusive relationship and looking to make a fresh start in Kansas City. After Leigh is attacked and turned by a wayward vampire named Morgan, Lucian becomes her unwilling tutor in the vampiric lifestyle. When he realizes he's falling in love with her, he has to figure out how to become the kind of man she could fall in love with as well the kind of man he used to be. Though Sands doesn't have much of an antagonist in Morgan, her trademark humor and genuine characters easily carry the romance, and she's able to work in some creative twists on the standard vampire legend, keeping her series fresh and her readers hooked.
