It had just been one thing after another. Because of a past incident involving his special ability, Alexander Thorne was a man known for having his emotions in check, a reputation for treating others with respect, and for following all the rules. Which was why, when he received a last-minute summons at the tail end of a hectic day from his Clan Leader, he had no idea the meeting would result in his entire world being turned upside down. A vamp was framing him for murder. Could it be a friend, a colleague, a past lover, or perhaps the vampire council sworn to keep all vampire kind safe? Could the day get any worse? After receiving more criticism regarding her work, Raylan Harrison once again questioned her life choices, specifically her decision to pursue a career in the arts. Not only was the job market competitive, but her manager made her question whether she even had any artistic abilities. After leaving late from work, she wasn't fully paying attention when a blur darted out in front of her car, causing her to hit it. It wasn't just a blur, but a man, and not just any man….but a vampire. A vampire that bit her, kissed her, and….made her feel desire. Oh…and that vampire she hit with her car,He's also her boss. Her ultimate boss, the CEO. The growing sexual chemistry between Alexander and Raylan was forbidden in more ways than one. Ethics aside, there was a vampire determined to have Alexander contained and possibly killed by the council. Resisting attraction was best all the way around, but when the killer began targeting Raylan, Alexander must make a choice. He could keep fighting against what he wanted, or claim Raylan for all eternity. That is….if the killer didn't get to her first.
