For over a year, gay Scanguards vampire and master of mind control, Thomas, has meticulously mentored his protégé, the young vampire Eddie. For just as long, Thomas has harbored a secret love for him, but he's convinced his powerful affection will never be returned.

During a perilous patrol through San Francisco, a desperate diversionary kiss from Eddie shatters Thomas's composure and ignites a terrifying realization in Eddie. He's undeniably, uncontrollably drawn to his mentor, an unexpected attraction that threatens to shatter the very foundation of their relationship.

As Eddie grapples with the shame of his sexual desires, Thomas's hope crumbles. Hurt and disappointment propel him down a treacherous path, one that threatens to consume not only him, but everyone he holds dear. Only Eddie can pull him back from the precipice of eternal darkness. But does Eddie possess the courage to confront his deepest fears and claim the man who is undeniably his, before it's too late?

ABOUT THE SERIES
The Scanguards Vampires series is full of fast-paced action, scorching love scenes, witty dialogue, and strong heroes and heroines. Vampire Samson Woodford lives in San Francisco and owns a security/bodyguard company, Scanguards, which employs both vampires and humans. And eventually some witches. Throw in a few immortal guardians and demons later in the series, and you'll get the drift! Each book can be read as a standalone and always centers around a new couple finding love, but the series is more enjoyable when read in order. And of course, there are always a few running jokes - you'll understand when you meet Wesley, a wannabe witch. Enjoy!
