Despite that, her mission to hunt down Kane Malloy-a master vampire-comes with a death wish. Many have tried, but few have survived.

With her parents both mysteriously killed seven years apart to the day, Caitlin knows that without Kane's help, she is next. She has four days to make a deal with the wicked, the irresistible, the treacherous Kane Malloy. The vampire who despises everything she stands for. Or die. Contains mature themes.
