THE KNIGHT
Wystan Ryn de Crecy’s a valiant knight. Vampirism didn’t change anything. He abides a personal Code of Chivalry. One steeped in heraldic tradition. Honor. Bravery. Gallantry. Only one thing upsets his afterlife: Women. Every time he’s seen, he’s wanted. Chased. Hounded. He’d rather stay in his crypt. Where it’s quiet. Working with his weapons. Honing his skills. Secreted away.
THE COP
Officer Rachel Berne has almost seen it all. A soft heart is a weakness in her line of work. She’s confident. Assertive. Skeptical. But then, a guy drops into her path. Literally. A gorgeous guy. Brandishing a killer sword, and wielding an old-fashioned manner. He sets her pulse on fire, her heart to pumping. Too bad he’s claiming to be a vampire. Because she could really go for him.
A RENAISSANCE
Wystan’s afterlife has hit a snag: A woman. But not just any woman. A perfect one. His mate. She’s unbelievably beautiful. Totally soul-stirring. Being near her sends his senses into overdrive, his passions to inferno level. Mating is absolute paradise...except she thinks he’s crazy. Or a fraud. Somehow he must convince her. Or lose her forever…
