Through dance floors, forests, car races, and into a horrific vampire lair, Simon risks his life to keep Ruby safe while being being outnumbered at every turn and mesmerized by her every second--even while facing death, danger, and darkness. Product DescriptionSimon is a vampire, prowling through the dark New Orleans streets that pulse with wild adventure and fangs gleaming in the shadows. He's spent the last few decades as a recluse, aching over a lost love. Now, he's put it behind him, thirsting to fulfill the raging inner need he's deprived himself for so long.
