San
Francisco nightclub owner Carina Tranquilli works hard, plays hard, and never
allows the death of her parents and her twelve-year memory gap to get her down.
But her life takes a left turn when a witch attacks her on her twenty-fifth
birthday.
Three
hauntingly familiar vampires emerge to reveal she possesses a latent power. To
protect her from their enemies, they admit to wiping her memories clean and
abandoning her as a child, but now they need her help. As she struggles to
evade her new protectors and even newer enemies, she meets Alexander, an
enigmatic, undead musician. Insta-lust flares, leaving her wanting more.
With
evil’s minions hounding her every move, and everything she thought she knew
turned on its head, Carina must harness her burgeoning power, unravel her
vampire family’s web of deceit, and fight to have a love life...without getting
killed in the process.

Turn
around.
I froze, my moment of
weakness chased away by a jolt of adrenaline. I resisted Adrian’s pull. “Did
you hear that?”
“Hear what?”
Silence.
“Nothing, I guess.” A wave of
energy rolled into me, curled itself possessively around my body, and gave me
one hell of a head rush. “Oh, wow.” I bit my lip, bracing against reaction.
Adrian tightened his grip on
my waist. “Rina?”
Mark and Ren stalked over,
faces grim.
“Did—? Do you—?” My mouth was
so dry I could barely speak. “Do you guys feel that?”
Adrian squeezed, capturing my
wandering attention, concern etched in the stern set of his jaw. “Feel what?
What’s wrong?”
I started to tell them the
Invisible Man hugged me against an electrified fence, but a second wave of
energy bowled into me, making me tingle from head to toe. The sensation walked
the line between pleasure and pain. A moan escaped me.
Mark took me from Adrian.
“That’s it. We’re out of here.” He tried to pick me up, but I shook my head.
Bad idea. Dizziness took the hall, and me, for a little spin.
Turn
around. Turn. Around.
Was it a voice or instinct
urging me on? Either way, the desire proved irresistible. I pulled away from
Mark, pivoted, and forgot how to breathe.
The electric energy pulled
back. The dizziness abated. All extraneous noise and people drained out of my
perception until there was only Him.
Tall, fit, and bad-boy
handsome with skin like pale honey, his thick, walnut brown hair hung tousled
in a sexy, I-just-got-out-of-bed way. A hip, black, button-down shirt
accentuated a sculpted upper body before it tucked into slacks painted on long,
lean legs. The whole package made my mouth water.
Hot. Yummy. Totally my type.
“Who are you?” I whispered.
His mouth twitched in a hint
of a smile as if he heard me—impossible given the distance between us. Heat
spread, loosening my muscles, and my pulse sped up. Nerves. What’s wrong with
me? Guys never made me nervous, not even gorgeous ones.
I nibbled my lower lip, mind
racing to make sense of my reaction. His gaze tracked the movement and then
slid back up. The heat from his stare hit me full force, driving a shaft of
need through me. Energy rocked me again, a warm, electric breeze bathing my
skin. My eyes widened in comprehension. The energy came from him.
