Synopsis
Denise MacGregor is a human and the best friend of the half-vampire Cat Crawfield. Her family has a dark past full of secrets, and a demon shapeshifter has marked her as prey. Her survival depends on Spade, an ancient vampire who is bound to protect her even if that means turning against his own kind. Spade is drawn to Denise and has to resist his hunger for her while the two face the demon together.
