Part of Love at Stake, book 8
First published 2010
FBI psychologist Olivia Sotiris arrives on the Greek island of Patmos with sunscreen, a bathing suit, and dreams of peaceful relaxation. She wants ocean breezes and sandy toes after her dangerous, chaotic career. Instead, she finds meddling grandmothers determined to find her a husband. The local men bore her, but Scottish newcomer Robby MacKay catches her attention immediately. Robby packed synthetic blood and jogging clothes for his own retreat. The vampire seeks distance from his burning desire for revenge against the Malcontent bloodsuckers who once imprisoned him. Olivia's wild curls and tempting smile distract him from his dark thoughts. Their island romance faces a deadly interruption when a criminal from one of Olivia's FBI cases tracks her to Patmos. Robby must protect the woman who has captured his heart while Olivia discovers that her mysterious lover harbors supernatural secrets. Their relationship will test whether love can bridge the gap between human and vampire worlds.
