When independent, tough as nails motivational speaker, Alyssa Edwards, puts aside her pride and hires Sundown Security to protect her from a stalker while she finishes the last few speaking engagements in her hometown, she's shocked to discover that her new body guard is a two hundred year old vampire. Christian Galiano devotes his immortal life to defending and protecting the humans he ruthlessly preyed upon during the first fifty years of his vampire existence. That duty is his only reason for walking the night, until he meets Alyssa. Caught up in feelings neither of them wanted or expected, they soon discover that Alyssa's life isn't the only one in danger. Christian's creator, Bazhena Galichanin, is back for revenge, and she wants to reclaim her "pet" for all eternity.
