Living La Vida Muerta

Elena Talbot betrayed her sister for a chance at immortality. Now, ensconced in the dark world of Chicago's undead, she clings to the person who helped her find herself and her sanity after the gut wrenching, soul-stealing transformation from human to vampire.Vampire investigator Lucas Vitale has gotten used to having Elena in his home and in his bed. She's always ready for his lusty games, but she's still afloat in a sea of self doubt and confusion about her new existence. She wants the one thing he can't give her, a purpose. When her quest for fulfillment brings her too close to his long-hidden secret, he casts her out and only after she's gone does he realize there's no point in living 'the dead life' without her.
