Theo Caden is dealing with pressure on all sides. With a vampire who is obsessed with her, a Scion to protect, and a very determined Detective Sergeant who has no clue that he's just waded into a supernatural war that had been going on for centuries, Theo has her hands full. Her attraction to Max isn't something Theo wants or needs, but the universe seems to keep putting the two of them in each other's orbit.

Max De Barra has been feeling on edge lately. The tightly controlled life that he has seems to be coming apart at the seams and with every answer, he ends up with more questions. His relationship with his sister has gone from bad to worse, and now he can't stop thinking about Theo Caden, who Max knows is lying to him.

When the victims of Max's most recent case happen a little too close to home, Max must confront his past and the secrets that won't stay buried. He doesn't know who or what to trust, because everyone seems to be hiding things from him, especially the beautiful Theo Caden.
