Life has never been so insane for Nikki James. There's
another teenager missing. She has another vampire to
contend with. Her partner and best friend Jake is in the
hospital dying. And a madman is kidnapping the
wealthy. Just when it seems nothing else could possibly
go wrong, Michael returns—but not for her. This time,
however, Nikki has no intention of running from either the
case or from what still lies between her and Michael. And
she isn't going to let him run, either. The last thing
Michael Kelly needs is a confrontation with Nikki—
especially when his control over his bloodlust is still so
tenuous. But when a kidnapper steps up his agenda to
murder, he's forced into a partnership with Nikki to keep
her safe. Soon Michael discovers the biggest danger he
faces may not be from his need to "taste" her, but from his
desire to make her a permanent part of his life—a life that
is sure to get her killed. Nikki is determined to make
Michael see that life apart is worse than death. But before
she can make him see the light, a specter from Michael's
past rises that could destroy any hope she has of a future
with him. Because this time the threat isn't physical. It's
a matter of the heart. Nikki must compete with the woman—
the vampire—for whom Michael gave up life.
