Only
fifty years left before vampires rule the world.
When
Dallas police detective Cami Davis joined the city's vampire unit, she planned
to use the job as a stepping-stone to a better position in the department.
But
she didn't know then what she knows now: there's a silent war raging between
humans and vampires, and the vampires are winning.
So
with the help of a disaffected vampire and an ex-cop addict, Cami is going
undercover, determined to solve a series of recent murders, discover a way to
overthrow the local Sanguinary government, and, in the process, help win the
war for the human race.
But
can she maintain her own humanity in the process? Or will Cami find herself,
along with the rest of the world, pulled under a darkness she cannot oppose?

Excerpt
I glared at her. Vampires should not
know more about me than I do.
"I'll have to see that she gets
over it," a voice drawled from behind me. I whipped my head around in time
to see a man standing up from a barstool behind me. I hadn't even noticed he
was there
God
knows how I could have missed him.
He wore jeans and a dark blue
button-down shirt. He had on dark brown cowboy boots, and as he turned away
from the bar, he picked up a black felt cowboy hat from the seat next to him,
placing it on his head. On anyone else, I might have assumed that the hats and
boots were an affectation. On him, they looked perfect. He was utterly
beautiful, with bright green eyes, and dark hair that curled down to barely
brush the back of his collar.
I
am undercover, I reminded myself sternly. Here to do a job.
When Garrett caught my gaze in his,
flicking his glance toward the cowboy vamp, it was all I could do to keep from
sighing aloud.
Would
it have killed my partner to be a little more descriptive when he briefed me?
Of course that was the vampire
cowboy I had to get close to tonight.
No
making eyes at the informants, Cami.
But damn, he was hot.
"Nice scars," he said,
sliding his gaze along my bared shoulder.
"Thanks," I said, almost
breathless.
"But I thought you didn't do
Un-Claimed strays, Reese," the short woman said, managing to both pout and
smile at the same time.
And
I am absolutely not attracted to vampires.
I could keep telling myself that.
