For
Destiny St. George, shapeshifting lioness and private investigator,
her best friend's looming wedding is little more than a reminder of
her failed relationship with vampire king Marcus Smythe. Tired of being
only one of many mistresses-and dinner entrees-she's stayed away from
the vampire scene altogether. Until a missing-person case forces her
to seek his help.
Knowing that pressing
Destiny is not the way to convince her to give their relationship another
try, Marcus has been waiting her out-and his patience is rewarded when
she steps into his nightclub. Now is his chance to lure her back into
his arms. This time, he plans to keep her there.
Destiny's not sure
which is worse: working with Marcus, or trying to remember all the reasons
she called it off with him. And when it becomes clear the case is an
elaborate trap to avenge a millennia-old grudge, she finds herself caught
between love and instinct-while the clock ticks down on an innocent
victim's life...
