An experimental vaccine gives vampire Gerard Delaroche hope
for the first time in two centuries--until two people are brutally murdered,
and he suspects a conspiracy between vampires and mortals. To solve the crime,
he must put his trust in a beautiful detective. But is former soldier and MP
turned detective, Amber Buckley, a threat to his existence? Or the answer to
his prayers?
Amber Buckley and her partner are assigned to do follow up
interviews in the Lifeblood of America slayings. Amber believes she and Reid
are just new eyes on a cold case. That is, until she meets Gerard Delaroche.
Something about him teases long-buried memories Amber would rather not chase.
However, the two join together, falling into more than resolution of a murder
case. It seems Amber has some dark secrets of her own.
To find their way into the light, Amber and Gerard must
first EMBRACE THE DARKNESS.

Excerpt:
Maybe he was wearing Kevlar. But wouldn’t Kevlar show
through that tight-fitting shirt?
Perhaps not. But there had to be a logical explanation.
Ignoring the warning bells clanging inside her skull, she
shoved the Glock back in its holster and reached for the beer she’d deposited
on the counter. She took another long, hard pull on the bottle, hoping to douse
irrational thoughts.
Gerard inhaled sharply. His eyes devoured her.
Despite renewed fear, she managed to set the bottle back on
the counter without dropping it.
He’s not a vampire. He’s not a vampire. He’s not a vampire.
“I’d give anything to drink beer again,” he said in a
reverent voice.
Amber nearly laughed out loud. Her shoulders sagged. Gerard
Delaroche wasn’t a vampire, and he didn’t want to drink her blood. He wanted a
beer. Like a normal guy.
Hell, he probably was normal. She was the one off her
rocker.
“Want one?” She forced herself to meet his intense stare.
He smiled. “Can’t. Vampire. Remember?”
Like that was something a girl could forget. It wasn’t every
day a hot guy claimed to be a vampire.
Hell, maybe he was a vampire. The man could stop bullets
with his chest.
He took a hesitant step closer. She stiffened and took
another cautious swallow of beer. He stopped three feet away. Good. Sexy and
crazy was a dangerous combination.
