Can a vampire hunter ever trust a vampire?
After years on the sidelines, Zack Wright is ready to prove he's worthy of his family's monster hunting legacy. He's even got the details to the perfect first hunt. All he has to do is delete an email, kill a vampire, and join his family on the road.
Roger has survived his sire's cruelty for three hundred years. He conspires with his closest allies to put an end to their torment. But one night in 1989, he falls into a magical coma. He wakes over thirty years later—with a hunter attempting to drive a stake into his heart.
Confused and weakened, Roger needs every advantage he can grasp. He offers Zack the opportunity to hunt his infamous sire. Taking down a legendary vampire would catapult Zack's reputation and cement his place in the family legacy. However, to get close to their prey, Zack must learn how to be Roger's pet. It's supposed to be an act, but Roger is gorgeous, seductive, and genuinely caring.
Catching feelings wasn't part of the plan. And despite the idyllic small town, someone keeps attempting to hunt the hunter. Can Zack learn to trust what should be his immortal enemy? Or will someone remove Roger's new ally before they have a chance to bond?
