Growing up, I never expected the kind of life I have now. Not even remotely. I grew up wealthy and spoiled and expected that to continue into adulthood.

Until I was attacked and murdered by an enraged vampire for something I said ten year ago. I was seven. I still don’t have a clue what I said to anger him so much that he’d remember it a decade later.

So now I’m a vampire. A powerful one. I’m also a demon. As is my mate. Yet another thing I never expected growing up. Here I always thought I was straight, when apparently I’m not.

We have each other and we’re working at being fledglings for Mistress Iva, Nain, our mistress. She’s teaching us how to be master vampires. Power will only get you so far, but brains will carry you the rest of the way. We have power to spare, we just don’t have the knowledge and political acumen that we need to really be successful.

Yet even with being fledglings, we do have down time. Time to visit Aunt Amy and see how she’s coming along. Time to fly to New York to dance at Strobe.

Time for Penny to be kidnapped and taken from me.

When evil plans pull us in and threaten the life of my mate, my only choice is to go on the hunt.

Can I find her before something worse happens? Can I survive if something happens to her? I just don’t know. The fear and the rage inside combines with the uncertainty and rocks my world, shoving me up and over the ragged edge.

I have to find her. I have to have her safe. Because the alternative may destroy the life that I’m building and tear me away from my home with Nain.
