Part of Argeneau, book 12
First published 2009
Nicholas Argeneau spent decades tracking rogue vampires who violated immortal law. That career ended fifty years ago when he became the hunted rather than the hunter. The Argeneau family no longer speaks his name. Nicholas has turned rogue himself. When he witnesses a bloodthirsty vampire attacking Josephine Willan during her evening walk, old instincts take over. Nicholas rescues the terrified woman from certain death. The intervention costs him his freedom. Authorities arrest Nicholas for crimes they believe he committed. Josephine cannot forget her mysterious savior or his passionate kiss. The man who rescued her faces serious accusations, but his tender touch suggests innocence rather than guilt. She refuses to accept that someone capable of such loving gestures could be the criminal everyone claims he is. Josephine decides to fight for Nicholas and prove his worth, even as she discovers the dangerous supernatural world that surrounds them both.
