The clientele at Shore-s clothing store includes some of L.A.-s sexiest bachelors. But none of them affects Megan DeLacey as deeply as the dark-eyed stranger who strides into her boutique one evening-and keeps returning, night after night. Megan is drawn to Rhys Costain even as she fears him. Because his reason for being there is clear-he wants Megan, with an intensity that-s both tempting and terrifying . . .
For almost five centuries, Rhys has lived alone, using women as it pleased him and never wanting more. As Master of the West Coast vampires, it-s his duty to eliminate the ancient vampire who-s draining humans on his turf, putting all of their kind at risk. But Megan-s lush beauty and vibrant warmth is blinding him to a danger that will soon engulf them both-and tear him from the only woman who can satisfy his darkest hunger . . .
