THROUGH DARKEST TEMPTATION

When Dallas police detective Cami Davis joined the city's vampire unit, she planned to use the job as a stepping-stone to a better position in the department. She didn't know then what she knows now: A silent war rages between humans and their supposedly pacified predators, and the vampires are winning. With the clock running out on her kind, Cami will do whatever she must to defeat the "Sanguinary."

Enter Reese Fulton, a disaffected ex-cop and a vampire. She can't exactly trust him, but with his cowboy boots and good-ole-boy drawl he's the perfect beard for Cami's fledgling undercover operation. Yet playing Reese's Claimed—a vampire's personal bloodgiver—isn't as straightforward as she was led to believe. His bite is as enthralling as his dimpled smile, and soon Cami is wondering which will pose more of a challenge: subduing the enemies of humanity...or her own desire.
