From the brand new York Times bestselling writer of the night time Huntress series comes a breathtaking new journey towards the dark side of desire.

The night isn’t safe for mortals. Denise MacGregor knows all as well well what lurks in the shadows-her closest friend is certainly half-vampire Cat Crawfield-and she’s already lost a lot more than the average human being could keep. But her family’s past is definitely wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness, and a demon shape-shifter offers marked Denise as victim. Now her success depends on an immortal who lusts for the flavor of her.

He’s Spade, a robust, mysterious vampire who has walked the earth for centuries and is now duty-bound to safeguard this endangered, alluring human-even if this means destroying his own kind. Denise may arouse his deepest hungers, but Spade knows he must fight his urge to have her because they encounter the nightmare collectively, because after the initial crimson drop falls, they’ll both be dropped.
