Part of Argeneau, book 10
First published 2008
Samantha Willan escapes to cottage country after her latest breakup. The workaholic lawyer wants nothing more than peace and quiet away from romance. Then she meets Garrett Mortimer, her mysterious new neighbor whose intense gaze seems fixated on her neck. Garrett hunts rogue vampires for the Argeneau clan. His previous case successfully paired Lucian Argeneau with his destined mate. Now he tracks another dangerous rogue, though sunlight makes the hunt challenging for any vampire. He tries to focus on his mission, but Samantha proves a constant distraction, especially when he catches her swimming naked in the moonlit lake. After eight centuries of avoiding romantic entanglements, Garrett faces an unexpected dilemma. Can a vampire hunter who has lived as a bachelor for hundreds of years risk everything for one mortal woman?
