There's a new club in town and the bodies of young, gorgeous men keep piling up at its door. For Em, it's just another day at work. As a vampire living and working among humans, forensic pathology seemed a sensible career choice. After all, she knows more about death than all of her co-workers put together, and when the law doesn't deliver justice to the lowlife murderers and dealers Em meets every day, then she can. Her own way.  But then the lethally beautiful Jarek arrives in town, a lover of Em's from hundreds of years ago, and Em knows something bigger is going on. When she investigates at the club she discovers a consort of her father's, fled from his side without his permission, hiding in a garish costume and afraid of something worse. Worse than her father, lord of the Family? Em has no idea what that could be.  With something dangerous ripping its way through her town Em needs to protect those she holds dear – the men in her life, her friends. But with Jarek tempting her back to her old ways she needs to choose between her vampire side and her human side. Have the humans in her life taught her enough about love to keep her here?  And what on earth is killing at the club?
