The vampire clan has a problem. They want me to help solve it. But what can one human do?

When the vampire clan drag me in for murdering one of their own, I figure I’m done for. Vampires are dangerous and cruel. It doesn’t matter that their fledglings have been popping up and killing in my part of London. All that matters is that they protect each other.

Only, it doesn’t seem like they know why fledglings are running around either, and killing me may start a war. I’ll have to work with the clan—with the pretty, wounded vampire Lucien—to get to the bottom of things because no matter what I think of vampires, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep the people I care about safe.

Working with Lucien brings a whole new set of dangers, and not necessarily the biting kind. I’m drawn to him in a way I’ve never experienced before, and I’m sure he feels the same. But he has secrets too, and I can’t trust a vampire, especially if I can’t be certain where his loyalties lie.

As the threat looms closer, and my past comes back with a vengeance, I have to make a choice: Let Lucien in, and let him help me the way he swears he will, or keep him at a distance and take care of this myself, even if it means sacrificing my own life.

Running from my past seemed like a good idea at the time. Too bad it’s about to catch up to me.

Fending off murderous mages isn’t exactly at the top of my ideal to-do list, but when they start flinging spells at our vampires, I’m the only one equipped to fight back. Doesn’t matter that I’m out of magical shape—I’m going to have to fall back on all my training to keep Adam, the vampire I care way too much about, safe.

That’s the least of it. Adam’s ever-present smile might have me weak in the knees, but when my best friend’s younger brother, Drew, arrives, I’m thrown for another loop. The big, sweet wolf is clearly running from something, and he has no idea the lengths I’ll go to protect him, too.

Turns out it’s not just me. Adam’s as drawn to Drew as I am, and though I’m willing to step aside and let them have each other, he floats a different idea. What about the three of us? An impossible thought, especially when the truth comes out and the spectre of my biggest regret returns to haunt me in a very real, very lethal way.

As if I have time to dwell on all that. The three of us are targets, our enemies closing in on every side. And as danger looms, I come face-to-face with the one question I’d hoped never to have to answer again: How far will I go to protect—or avenge—the people I love?

A century ago, I shattered the bond between me and my mate. Now our paths are colliding once again.

My sire has returned, and no one in London is safe. Least of all Deacon—we might have been apart for 100 years, but to Tamesis, Deacon is still the wolf who tempted me away.

As bodies begin to pile up, Deacon and I struggle to fight a bond that desperately wants to heal. I have vampires to protect. He has packs to reassure. We should be focusing on anything but each other, and we do not have time to dwell on mistakes of the past.

But the closer Tamesis gets, the more the monster in me fights to rise again. Forget the clan, the packs, the mages… I have always been a selfish creature, and I will not let him have my wolf, even if it is the very last thing I do.
