Seductive and lethal vampire, Léopold Devereoux, returns to the Big Easy to find a killer.  His search leads him to a beautiful and mysterious woman, who awakens desires and emotions that he’s long fought to keep buried.  After centuries of self-imposed solitude, the billionaire philanthropist struggles to restrain his growing thirst for the intriguing, lovely female who’s captured his attention.

Laryssa Theriot, an antiques proprietor in the Vieux Carré, agrees to help the commanding yet debonair stranger, who seeks her assistance.  She withholds her secret abilities, afraid to trust the man who threatens to unleash her darkest fantasies.  All the while, Léopold consumes her thoughts, testing her erotic limits and bringing her to new levels of ecstasy.  As the menacing force that has stalked Laryssa for years finally catches up to her, she submits, putting her life into the hands of the dominant vampire who offers his protection.

Deep in the heart of New Orleans, they embark on a perilous adventure, forced to search for an ancient sacrificial relic that they hope will save their lives.  As they face formidable challenges, Léopold and Laryssa surrender to the passionate intimacy that possesses them.  After hundreds of years of denying himself love, will Léopold bond to the woman who has begun to crack the impenetrable shell around his heart?  As evil draws near, will Laryssa survive the demon that has come to take her soul?

Warning: This book contains several erotic love scenes and is intended for adult readers only.

Excerpt:
 “Did you just say it clawed at her?  Is she hurt?”  Dimitri approached Léopold so that they stood shoulder to shoulder, taking in the landscape.  It was the first time he’d been to Léopold’s lake house.  

“No, she’s fine, but…”  Léopold didn’t finish his sentence. 

“But what?  Exactly how does someone get swiped by a demon and be fine?”

“She’s healed.” While she was sleeping, he’d inspected the wound and not a trace of a scar was evident.

“I take it this has something to do with what she does?”

“Indeed, mon ami.  But I promised her that I wouldn’t tell anyone what she is, so don’t bother asking.  It’s her story to tell.  You can ask her when she comes out.  My guess is that after that demon showed up, she’ll tell you.  But I cannot break my oath to her.  I’ve already done enough to hurt her on my own without digging the hole any deeper,” Léopold confessed.  Turning to Dimitri, he raked his hand through his tousled hair.  

Dimitri leaned toward his friend and sniffed.  He shook his head, knowing the answer to the next question he was about to ask Léopold.  “You fucked her didn’t you?  I can smell it.”

“Must you be so uncouth?” Léopold replied, blowing out a breath.

“You did,” Dimitri exclaimed.  “Jesus Christ, Leo.  Seriously, man.  You can have any woman you want.  Why her?  You ever hear that expression, ‘don’t dip your pen in the company ink’?”

“Yes, I’ve fucking heard it, asshole.  But she’s just so…I don’t know, she’s just special.  Goddammit, I know, okay?  I know I fucked up.”

“I don’t see what the issue is here.  I mean have you two idiots ever heard the term ‘consenting adults’.  What’s the big deal?”  Jake asked.

“The big deal is that he just fucking met her.  And we need her to help us to keep Ava safe.  If she’s in danger, so is our Alpha.  Laryssa was just starting to trust us, trust him, and lover boy here just can’t keep it in his pants,” Dimitri huffed, taking a seat at the table.

“He’s right.  There’s no excuse,” Léopold agreed.  “It’s not sleeping with a woman that’s a problem, it’s the fact that I can’t…I won’t have a relationship.  It’s not happening.  And now that we’ve made love, well, it adds complications to our situation.  Ones we didn’t need.”

“It would be one thing if you actually cared about anything besides yourself, Devereoux.  But you don’t.  That’s the thing.  If you fucking hurt her…” Dimitri began.

“Why do you care about her anyway, wolf?”  Léopold’s eyes narrowed on Dimitri.

“Because, Leo,” Dimitri stared at his friend.  “She seemed kind of nice.  And she stood up to that asshole, Luca.  And for some reason, unbeknownst to me, she seems like she might actually care about you.  Why is beyond me. And she cares about Ava too, and she has no reason to.  We are the ones who sought her out.  Now, not only have we upturned her life, we’ve brought a demon to her…right here to your goddamn house.”

“I think we’ve established that I fucked up.  I just said so.  Can we just move on?”

“She’s okay with one night?  Because I know that you never have women sleepover.  You’ve told me as much.”

“I told her that I don’t do relationships.  I can’t become involved with her.  But you’re correct in that we do need her.  We need to find that knife.”

“This isn’t going to go well, you know that, right?  I mean, I don’t know Laryssa, but I saw the way she looked at you yesterday, and I have a hard time believing she’s a one night stand kinda girl.  Could be wrong?  But damn, it was as if she had ‘innocence’ stamped on her forehead,” Dimitri said.

“Please stop already.  Okay?” Léopold tilted his head backwards, closed his eyes and wiped them with both of his hands out of frustration.  “I get it.  I’m a dick.  I shouldn’t have slept with her but I did.  I can’t take it back.  I promise you that I’ll do my best to repair this…‘relationship’ I’ve irresponsibly put at risk.”  

He choked on the word.  Relationship.  No, no, no.  As if it wasn’t bad enough that he was developing feelings for Laryssa, now Dimitri had him filled with guilt for what he’d done.  Damn wolves.  Damn humans.  For a moment, he wished he could go back to not caring about his new friend. But no matter how he tried, what was done was done.  Merde.  I’m truly fucked.
