From the back cover
Sara Constantine is one of the country’s most tenacious prosecuting attorneys—and she’s just secured a well-earned promotion. At first she’s thrilled. Then she finds out her new job involves prosecuting vampires and werewolves. And nothing prepares Sara for the shock she receives when she meets the first defendant she’ll be trying to put away: Lucius Dragos, the sexy stranger with whom she recently shared an explosive night of ecstasy.
When Lucius Dragos kisses the beautiful woman sitting next to him at the bar, he’s only hoping to blend into the crowd and avoid the perceptive gaze of the man he’s following…and planning to kill. But what starts as a simple kiss to secure his cover ignites into a fierce hunger that leads to an all-consuming passion. Charged with murder, Luke knows Sara will do whatever it takes to see him locked away—unless he can convince her that he’s not the monster she thinks he is. And that might mean making the greatest sacrifice a vampire can make.
“Get ready, Sara. You’re about to go down the rabbit hole.”
–District Attorney Alexander Porter to Sara Constantine
“Dark and gritty, but still with a strong romantic element, this story sets up a parallel society that is fascinating in its structure, its view of right and wrong, and its variety of characters…[A] strong start to what should be an intriguing series.” — Fresh Fiction

They knew him, these hunters. These men who would shackle him and interrogate him and try their best to render justice upon him. They knew him, and they feared him. As they should. –Lucius Dragos, on the eve of his capture
