One minute Leigh was walking home in the early hours of the morning, and the next a vampire was sinking his teeth into her neck. It turns out he was a rogue vampire already marked for termination ... but that doesn't do Leigh any good. The damage has already been done: she's become one of them. Lucian Argeneau, rogue vampire hunter, has been alive for over two thousand years, and there's not much that can excite him anymore. Food has become tasteless, sex is ordinary, life is increasingly bland. Then Leigh drops into his life, and suddenly he finds himself craving coffee ... and imagining the sassy brunette atop the black satin sheets of his lovely big bed! It's Lucian's job to teach Leigh about being immortal, a task made more difficult as tutoring her ignites a fire in him that hasn't burned for centuries. But until they stop a renegade bloodsucker from destroying the human race, the passion will have to wait!
