Matthew Winter and Dulcie Evans are sure nothing can come between them. Then Matthew’s dream job as head of a vampire research center becomes a nightmare when he finds a vampire child suffering torturous experiments in a hidden lab. To rescue the boy, he risks everything, including his marriage and his life. Haunted by love and hiding from the law, Matthew sinks into a New York paranormal underworld. There he uncovers pieces of a puzzle that might lead to his destruction, unless he finds a way to change the laws of the vampire world.

Excerpt:
Tires screeched on Dulcie’s jeep as she swung the vehicle around and sped toward the research center.
Security met her at the door.
“Tell Jay Ashford that Dulcie Evans is here to see him,” she said. “Now!”
The guard’s eyes widened with surprise. Dulcie smelled the hybrid’s curiosity and arousal. He found her attractive and intimidating. Being an Immaculate, she could have ripped him apart, and he knew it.
Matthew was right. The entire center was staffed with vampires. The scent of hybrids was overpowering. None of them could beat her in a one-on-one fight, but they could destroy her with their number. Apprehension crept up her spine.
The guard phoned Jay, but his eyes remained focused on Dulcie. Finally, he turned to her. “Dr. Ashford would like you to go to his office. The tenth floor. Turn left out of the elevator—”
Dulcie disappeared before he finished speaking.
Jay waited for her outside the elevator. “Dulcie. I am surprised to see you, especially under these circumstances.”
“Where’s Matthew, you son of a bitch?”
Jay’s solemn face twisted into a smile. “You’re a lot like your husband. Direct. To the point. However, I can’t help you, Dulcie. I was hoping you might tell me Matthew’s whereabouts, but I can sense you really don’t know. He’s a brilliant man, your husband. Covers all grounds…” Jay’s voice faded. For a moment he looked far-off before he said, “I didn’t expect this from him. It’s not often that I’m taken by surprise. Funny, but I thought I knew him.”
Dulcie’s laugh was full of contempt. “You don’t know anything about him.”
