Newly turned vampire and Scanguards bodyguard Oliver teeters on the edge of savagery, battling a relentless thirst for blood. Each night is a brutal test of his control, but when the alluring Ursula literally collapses into his arms, he fears his carefully constructed defenses will crumble, unleashing the monster within.

Ursula has just escaped three years of captivity, enslaved by vampires who crave her unique blood. Rescued by a handsome stranger, her relief turns to terror when she realizes that he’s a vampire. Oliver promises salvation, but how can she trust a vampire whose hunger for her body is matched only by his craving for her blood?

Driven by a desperate vow to free her fellow blood whores, Ursula reluctantly allies with Oliver and the formidable team at Scanguards. As they plunge into a dangerous quest, the line between predator and protector blurs. Will this uneasy alliance lead to her salvation, or will Oliver’s insatiable hunger and the lurking dangers of the vampire world drag them both into damnation?
