Lukas is a bounty hunter by trade. After his friend and fellow hunter is killed, he decides to go after the shape-shifting killer-for-hire known only as Shadow. The problem is, he did not realize how dangerous Shadow was in ways he had not imagined. Caught between lust and an idealized sense of self, Lukas must sort through warring emotions as Shadow draws him into the conspiracy that put a price on his head in the first place.

Halcyon dances around the attraction he feels for Derek, a nurse for the local clinic. The thing stopping him from telling Derek how he feels? His alternate identity—Kingfisher—a vampire killer-for-hire and everything that entails. Halcyon—Hal—dances around the attraction he feels for Derek, a nurse at the local clinic. The one thing stopping him from telling Derek how he feels? Kingfisher, Hal's alternate identity as a vampire killer-for-hire and everything that entails, including his inaction the night Derek's parents were killed and he was horribly wounded. Hal fears the truth will tear them apart. And it does. His honesty drives a wedge between them, but when Derek calls Hal for help, he can't refuse. He'll do whatever it takes to make sure Derek won't suffer another loss, even if it means Hal's life will be forfeit.
