Michael Krauss has it all. An awesome set of wheels, a beautiful condo and a career in the city's most prestigious agency, the Paranormal Investigation Unit. One thing he doesn't have, answers. Why is he suffering nightly from visions of his past? Memories of the long-haired beast who tried to take his life ten years ago. It is up to him to figure out who, or what, this creature is. On one fateful night, he gets the opportunity he's been waiting for. As the field investigators are searching the old remains of a haunted home, the creature calls to him. Soon, he realizes his attacker is a vampire who has a mysterious connection with him. Not only does he have to ward off the vampire's fangs, but his lustful advances.

Somewhere under the dark skies of Central City, Lucius, a century old vampire, prowls the city in search of answers. It's been two months since he's found acceptance from Michael, and now he must ensure his human charge is safe under all costs. However, Michael remains skeptical about his need for energy, and about Lucius' desires, and has been avoiding the vampire for weeks. Lucius is unlucky enough to find his overbearing master, Serena, on that cold, dark night. She is desperately seeking to capture him within her realm, and, as a warning, she reminds Lucius that his connection with Michael is forbidden, and that his best choice is to join her forces once more. Yet, even after warning Michael about her intentions, Lucius finds he must fight for their freedom. Not only from Serena, but from anyone who wishes to exploit their secret. The couple finds a temporary retreat with Christopher, a vampire associate, but it is false protection. Lucius learns that his love for Michael keeps him weak, not only to the forces against them, but to Michael's unexpected changes.

“You will never have the displeasure of human burdens again. You can go wherever you like. Do whatever it is you choose to do.” After three months of being stuck in Christopher's mansion, Michael struggles for the realization that vampire's have no power over him. But trouble finds him fast once he chooses to leave, bringing him face to face with the lurid world of the undead. After all, his blood is an asset to all vampires, not just Lucius. And through all of the death and confusion, Michael meets Dante, a handsome and carefree vampire, who shows him that he's not confined to Lucius or to anyone, for that matter. As Michael learns to live again, Lucius fears he's lost his human lover; the pure soul that he'd fallen in love with. Will Michael succumb to the thoughtless acts of being immortal?

(A young vampire learns that being a psychic may be a rarity, but possessing magic abilities as well is truly a game changer.) Eight year fledgling vampire Malachi Faust is living his new life clumsily. He’s thankful to his maker, though he doesn’t know who that is, but he wants to party every night away, not caring about anything in the world—including coven life and other kin. That is until he meets older vampire Dante, who tells him he’s not only a psychic vampire, requiring sexual energy as well as blood, but he’s also the grandson of a witch. These two gifts make him a wanted man by the most powerful clan leader in the city, who’s set to capture him and introduce him to coven life. Malachi’s skeptical, though it does somehow explain his strangeness to need sex when he feeds, but he’s also unable to stop from getting caught up in Dante’s promises and passions. In order to survive the coven life, he must follow Dante through a world that he didn’t know existed while fighting his own lustful needs.
