When the shifters went public, the government hunted them to almost extinction. The vampires are smarter. They’ll stay hidden, even if Ryker has to hunt down a rogue vampire all by himself. There has been eleven murders, all connected by severe loss of blood. Each of the victims is dead, except for a stunning young woman named Aliza. Ryker’s trip to Dubuque should be quick and painless—swiftly laying down vampire law before the humans get suspicious. When Aliza reminds him of what it’s like to be human and the love he lost right here in this city eighty years ago, he finds himself having feelings he had locked tightly away. Feelings that have haunted him for nearly a century. As fast as he can, Ryker must find the rogue and get out of Dubuque before he’s forced to face the past…but as Aliza begins to show signs of something dark inside her, Ryker has to make a decision. Should he protect his soul…or save hers? You won’t want to miss this short vampire and fae romance, because who doesn’t love a story with tortured characters who find their happy ending.
