The vampire keeps trying to make a mate. The gravedigger keeps killing them before they rise. Ivory's got a bone to pick with Fletch ... and a proposition. Ivory, a Wild West whore of renown and an unrepentant vampire, has tried without success to create herself a mate. Obviously, something's gone terribly wrong, and she suspects the interference of the pious gravedigger. Fletch Conroy has been trained all his life to fight the forces of darkness through ritual and consecration. But after a rash of mysterious slasher deaths, Fletch decides it's time for him to start hunting for the vampire responsible. What he finds turns out to be more than he bargained for. And Ivory intends to take full advantage of that fact to show Fletch she's not the monster he expects. Reader Advisory: This book contains some scenes of violence and vampiric dubious consent; bloodsport (of course) and one of the characters undergoes some personal religious conflict/shame.
