Part of Argeneau, book 6
First published 2007
Leigh's early morning walk home turns deadly when a rogue vampire attacks her. The bite transforms her into an immortal, even though vampire hunter Lucian Argeneau eliminates the rogue who marked her. Now Leigh must learn to navigate her new existence as one of the undead. Lucian has spent over two thousand years hunting rogues, and life has lost its appeal. Food tastes like nothing. Sex bores him. But Leigh changes everything. Her presence awakens sensations he thought were gone forever. Coffee suddenly has flavor again. He finds himself picturing the spirited brunette in his bed. As Lucian teaches Leigh about immortal life, she ignites desires that have been dormant for centuries. Their growing attraction must wait, though. A dangerous renegade vampire threatens humanity's survival, and stopping this menace takes priority over their burning connection.
