Werewolves across the country are flocking to the Windy City, and as a sign of peace, Vampire Master Ethan Sullivan has offered their leader a special bodyguard - Merit, a newly turned Chicago vampire. Merit must protect the werewolf alpha, Gabriel Keene, while also spying for the vampires while she is with him. Oh, and luckily, Ethan made a very hot offer - one-on-one combat training lessons to help her prepare for the mission. Unfortunately, someone is hunting Gabriel, and Merit will soon find herself in the line of fire. She'll need all the help she can get to track down the would-be killer, and everywhere she goes will see rising supernatural tensions, not least between Merit and the green-eyed, centuries-old Vampire Master.
