A simple promise to protect her friend's young son turns Ellie Chambers' existence upside down. Caring for and feeding an orphaned vampire baby was quite difficult. But as little Liam grows, so does his appetite. He needs more blood than she can give. And when her attempt to steal blood from the blood bank fails, Ellie wakes up surrounded by doctors, police officers... and the gorgeous, mesmerizing Magnus, whom she can neither trust nor resist. Magnus never expected his life partner to infiltrate the blood bank. It's clear that Ellie is already intertwined with his world - in deeper and more dangerous ways than she realizes. A band of evil, immortal outcasts are in pursuit, and Magnus's first job is to ensure their safety. Second: seduce her with mind-blowing pleasure and hope that she will accept the life and passion that only he can offer.
