Elizabeth Strickland, Lizzy, to her friends, found herself in a predicament. The last thing she remembered was attending her own bachelorette party, then waking up in a cave with six other women. They all had wounds, just like hers, only they were dead. Lizzy had awakened as a newborn vampire. She had no idea why they died, and she had lived, but she had wished every day that she had died with them.

Stanley Remy, better known as just Remy, was an old vampire and close friends with Bancroft, their leader. He had his own issues. He was being falsely charged with making baby vamps and leaving them to fend for themselves.

Lizzy just wanted the bodies of the other women found. Once they were, she had every intention of meeting the sun. What she didn't need were two overbearing old vampires dictating to her what she could and couldn't do. She had killed her maker, she wouldn't hesitate to take them out if they didn't let her be.

But then Remy gifted her with something she never thought she'd have again. To feel the sun without burning. She could have her life back. Maybe this mate thing wouldn't be so bad after all.

If only it were that simple....
