Bastian Forge might be my downfall. But ruination has never looked so good. They say Langston’s are born with whiskey in our veins. Which is good, because I just made a deal with a vampire that will either save me—or doom me. With my company in debt, Bastian Forge is willing to loan me the money I need, but I’m not sure I can give him what he desires in return. But when this dark stranger unlocks my hidden gift—I can read vampire minds—we become partners in a deadly game, trying to outmaneuver a ruthless vampire Elder intent on using me to destroy Forge, and everything else I love. I’ve never played cat and mouse before, but this is one game I’m going to win.
