It’s officially booty o’clock, I’m alone again in my kitchen choking down a slice of terrible chocolate cake…and I’m pretty sure I just got drunk texted by the man I have a ginormous crush on. I’ve been daydreaming about Eliot Hoffman’s dimples for two months, and even though I’m sure this was a mistake on his end, it doesn’t mean it’s not an opportunity on mine. It’s the middle of the night, and I just wanna talk to him. So I text him back.

What's that saying? When life hands you lemons... What if I don't want to make lemonade? What if I want to pummel them into non-existence?

He's a sweet talker and the bad boy promising me the ride of my life.

Saving lives is the end goal. It's a responsibility I live with every day, the reason I wear the badge. Built on a brotherhood that runs deeper than blood, this way of life has become my very existence.... Until Liberty. I thought I was saving her. I never expected her to be the one saving me.

Aileen Henderson is still finding her bearings among the vampires. After a nightmarish introduction to their world through death, then the Auction, she’s finally found favor—and more carnal pleasures—with Lord Ragnor Rayne. But not even the head of the Rayne League can stave off the dark brutality of this place. Fearful of sharing her Sacred status, Aileen passes for a Common, deep beneath the city where she took her last breath. After the Hecatomb is announced, it’s harder to hide her secret.

The first time you meet someone, you make eye contact. You smile, say hello. Should be simple, if you're anyone but me. The first time I met Dylan Reed, I found myself making eye contact with a different part of his body. You see, I'm very good at being shy, not to mention extremely well-versed in rambling nonsense and, unfortunately, rather highly skilled at making a fool of myself in front of a guy I'm attracted to. At the time, I knew nothing about him and thought none of what I said would matter since I'd never speak to him again. Turns out, I was very wrong.
