When Vanessa Giles, Scanguards' tenacious community outreach manager, saves a sex worker from a rogue vampire's fangs, she's plunged into a dangerous new reality. Her path collides with the enigmatic Cole Whitlock, a human internet entrepreneur drawn to San Francisco by a secret, debilitating ailment. He's inexplicably pulled to Vanessa, even as he mistakenly believes her to be a high-class escort.

Vanessa, a vampire hybrid herself, desperately wants Cole close, yet she must conceal her true nature from him. Their delicate dance of attraction turns deadly when a rogue vampire begins transforming unstable young men into bloodthirsty creatures, unleashing them upon an unsuspecting city. Scanguards mobilizes, battling to protect San Francisco and uncover the rogue's chilling motives.

As the city teeters on the brink, Vanessa faces an impossible choice: risk revealing her vampiric identity to protect Cole from becoming the next victim, or watch him fall prey to the growing darkness. Will he recoil from the truth, or will their burgeoning love be strong enough to overcome the terrifying secrets that divide them?

ABOUT THE SERIES

The Scanguards Vampires series is full of fast-paced action, scorching love scenes, witty dialogue, and strong heroes and heroines. Vampire Samson Woodford lives in San Francisco and owns a security/bodyguard company, Scanguards, which employs both vampires and humans. And eventually some witches. Throw in a few immortal guardians and demons later in the series, and you'll get the drift! Each book can be read as a standalone and always centers around a new couple finding love, but the series is more enjoyable when read in order.
