Shadows in the Darkness

She's a middle‑class mortal from America. He's a vampire with a fortune and a life rooted in Austria. Their worlds should never have touched—yet fate has a way of dragging even the most careful hearts into danger.

Sustained by a secret vaccine that lets him live an almost normal life, Nicolas wants only to protect his family and the mortals who live in or visit his ski resort from the Ekimmu who hunt in the shadows. But the Ekimmu are growing stronger, and the BBTF—a covert government agency determined to eradicate all vampires—is closing in.

Tessa is a paralegal from North Carolina whose boss is defending an old friend on a drug charge until BBTF agents abruptly seize the case. Ordered to take a month‑long leave of absence, she follows her friend to Austria instead, unaware that every step she takes pulls her deeper into a shadowy world she doesn't know exists.

Knowing where the real threats lie can be like distinguishing shadows in the darkness, and trusting the wrong person could cost far more than their lives—because in a world where vampires are real, and not all of them are evil, falling in love could be deadly.
