Part of Love at Stake, book 3
First published 2007
Emma Wallace has dedicated her life to killing vampires since the creatures murdered her parents. She works for the CIA's Stake-Out team, hunting down what she considers monsters that deserve death. Her next target is Angus MacKay, a Highland warrior who has walked the earth as a vampire for nearly five centuries. When Emma encounters Angus, she sees a sexy Scotsman complete with brogue, kilt, and sword who looks like he stepped from a romance novel cover. But he remains her enemy, one of the undead she has sworn to destroy. Angus finds himself surprised for the first time in centuries by this luscious CIA agent. Her beauty stops him cold, yet he discovers she intends to kill him and others like him. His mission becomes convincing Emma that not all vampires are evil monsters. As hunter and hunted circle each other, their conflict transforms into something neither expected. The battle between them could end in death for one or both, or it might lead to surrender to a passion that transcends their opposing worlds.
