and its seductive Vampire Lord, Raphael, Cyn sees the Houston job as a welcome refuge, a place to get away and heal her broken heart. For Jabril is the face of evil in the new world, a vampire who values no life but his own, who enslaves those he desires, steals whatever he covets and destroys anyone who stands in his way. And as Private Investigator Cynthia Leighton will soon discover, not all Vampire Lords are created equal. Because Houston is also home to Jabril Karim, one of the eight powerful Vampire Lords who control all of North America. Houston, Texas Cowboy boots, baseball and journeys to the stars… Battling Russian mobsters and treacherous vampires, and betrayed by those they trusted, Cyn and Raphael find themselves fighting for their lives while caught up in a passion of blood and violence that is destined to destroy them both.

But she soon realizes her greatest danger comes not from the humans, but from Raphael himself. When Raphael asks for her help in tracking down the kidnappers, Cyn’s happy to accept. Cynthia Leighton is smart, tough and sexy, a private investigator and former cop who’s tired of spying on cheating spouses and digging out old bank accounts. But when, in a brazen and deadly daylight attack, a gang of human killers kidnaps the one female vampire he’d give his life for, Raphael turns to a human investigator to find his enemies before it’s too late. Thousands call him Master and have pledged absolute loyalty on their very lives. Powerful and charismatic, Raphael is a Vampire Lord, one of the few who hold the power of life and death over every vampire in existence. Malibu, California home to rock and roll gods and movie stars, the beautiful, the rich…Īnd vampires.
