Vampirism had Cara Brahnam turning tail and leaving behind her life in Pleasant. Now, ten years later, she's back as lead detective and wants to see the person responsible for draining the women of Lane County brought to justice, no matter what deal the gang of miscreants has struck with the sheriff.

Now someone has targeted Cara as the next victim and Kane must join in the hunt to find the ancient vampire that wants her dead.

As an unwanted passion kindles and combusts between them, the killer closes in, pulling Jay and Sara into the web of an evil that will rock them to their core.

He has personal reasons for detesting the press, so sparks fly when Laurie Michaels hounds him for a story. Fate forces them to work as one, neither one anticipating the attraction that ensues. But just as Cole thinks he is close to finding all the answers, both personal and professional, Laurie disappears.

Two long years have passed since Marcus "Snake"
Gallego left behind Henry County and Detective LeAnne McVeigh,
leaving her to mourn the fact he had ridden into the sunset
without her. But when he finally returns to her Ohio town, he

Tate, who looks the epitome of evil. And if things
couldn't possibly get worse, her best friend, the good doctor
Whitney Montgomery, has her eyes set on Tate.
