Slade has two ways of dealing with trauma. Neither involve a female. But all bets are off when fate throws Alyssa into his path. If the unwanted feelings she stirs up in him aren’t enough to throw his world into disorder, the government sanctioned slaughter of his people goes into full-force when a terrifying lab engineered virus is set loose on the vampire community. Can he move beyond his past and accept what fate has delivered? Or will he succumb to the fear that he is beyond salvage and lose the only person who can save him from himself? Warning. This book contains graphic violence.
