Ali Rusenko has dangerous secrets she can
never reveal. When her father dies suddenly, the shy British shopgirl discovers
he has even more secrets than she does. In search of the truth in Las Vegas,
Nevada, Ali is attacked by the horde and stranded in the desert. If it weren’t
for sexy vampire hunter Connor Beckett and his sidekick Roz Carrera, she’d be vampire
food.
Connor and Roz rescue Ali, but a string of
vampires chase her across the Nevada desert as if she's vampire catnip.
Unfortunately, Connor knows exactly how they feel. The beautiful stray sets his
blood to boiling. But if Connor's going to have a real chance to defeat the
horde leader, Oleksander the Destroyer, he can’t allow Ali leave the country
without discovering the one secret she refuses to reveal.

Excerpt
“Get
down,” Roz hissed, yanking on Connor’s black jacket. A spotlight swept over
their heads, and he tasted dry earth as he flattened onto the sand.
“That was
too close,” Roz complained.
They
skittered like cockroaches across the ground, avoiding a parked Humvee, and
staying out of the guards’ eye line. The things they couldn’t avoid at the
secret army facility in The-Middle-of-Nowhere, Nevada were surveillance cameras
on every wall and post. Hence, the need for speed and an electro-magnetic pulse
device the size of a suitcase strapped to Connor’s back. If they were caught
breaking into Oleksander the Destroyer’s cell, they’d never see daylight again.
Sort of the way Oleksander had been in the dark of an army prison for the past
twenty years.
Connor
Beckett hadn’t known six months ago—a lackluster engineering student at the
University of Chicago—that the Seer Ilvane would write down his name and
forever link him with the end of the human race.
Connor
from Cleveland will release the Destroyer and bring about the apocalypse.
There
wasn’t any way to fix the prophecy and save the world except to kill the
vampire lord.
“Push the
button,” Connor said, nodding at the EMP. Thank the fates for Anton and
Natasha, their very generous benefactors from New Zealand and their high-tech
toys.
“Pushing
the button.” Roz activated the device, and every electric light on the base,
hopefully the cameras and security doors too, blinked off. “Now,” she ordered.
“Move.”
Nimble on
the balls of his feet, Connor ran for building 2A, which he knew from poring
over satellite photos of the installation, was where the army kept the
vampires. He hunched over the card reader controlling the prison’s heavy-duty
outer door, sweat rolling down the back of his neck. “Please,” he breathed. A
single second delay while they stood like a couple of sore thumbs at the
gateway to a vampire’s cell on a secret military base could ruin everything.
He hoped
for the best and yanked. The immense door swung open on soundless hinges.
“I was
only fifty percent sure the EMP was going to work,” Roz admitted as she
followed him inside and sealed the door.
