Claire Treemont is a small-town coroner with a small-town social life—as in, nonexistent. When a yummy body enters her life one night at the county morgue, Claire is astonished to find she's pretty sad he's dead. I mean, honestly, how often does someone like her get to gaze upon a body like that? Zachariah Kowalski's got an affliction that has him waking up in places that are, to say the least, inconvenient. He also has a life mate who escapes him from century to century just as they're about to seal the vampire deal. Kinda frustrating, huh? Add in a best friend, Jarrod, who's ever so helpful, and an ex who'd rather see him dead than with another woman, and you get... trouble. Oh, and a wild, passionate ride against time...

Desdemona Smitrovitch is a bad, bad girl. She tried to murder Jarrod Stanislavski’s best friend Zach’s Life Mate. But Jarrod lusts after, er, likes Desi anyway. Desi doesn’t much like Jarrod, but she sure thinks he’s hot. Desi has a lot of work to do to make up for her past misdeeds. How do you make nice when you’ve committed murder (like a lot of murder) and what do you do when you’re not so sure you were really the one responsible for those murders? Or at least that’s what the voice in your head tells you… Jarrod thinks he can help Desi on the road to becoming a good girl. He has a flogger to help aid him in taming Desi. Do good girls like floggers?
