Synopsis
Sheriff Grace Shanley's life couldn't possibly get more complicated. Could it? She was up for re-election in a few months, had reports of a wolf stalking the local livestock, a couple of dead bodies up on the mountainside who had died of strange circumstances and to beat it all, she was having the steamiest erotic dreams about a stranger that she had met a few days ago. How was she supposed to know that when the stranger—Drake Raven—reappeared a few days later, she would be arrested him as Suspect #1 for the murders on the mountain? Just the simple act of placing the dangerously attractive Drake in handcuffs ignited a flame in her that no amount of water could tame. Grace has to struggle to maintain the Sheriff/Suspect relationship when she handcuffs him but every time she gets near Drake Raven she can barely breathe for the yearning to feel his hands on her heated skin.

Drake Raven only returned to Deer Run, KY to see if he could get to know the lovely Grace that he had met while he was there before, doing his job. His job of killing vampires. He never dreamed that the next time he saw Grace, he would be staring down the barrel of her gun. Arrested for murder, Drake has his work cut out for him. He has to convince her that he hasn't killed anyone—and when he notices the bite marks on her neck—he also has to convince her that vampires are real and one of them had his eye on her for his next victim. Drake defends Grace in more ways than one while he loses his heart to the most powerful woman he's ever met.
