First Drop Of Crimson

Denise MacGregor is human, and she knows what hides in the dark. Her best friend is Cat Crawfield, who is half vampire, and Denise has already survived losses that would break most people. Now a demon shapeshifter has chosen her as its prey, and the reason lies in her family's buried past.

Her protector is Spade, a vampire who has walked the earth for centuries. Duty binds him to keep her alive, even if that means turning against his own kind. He is also drawn to her, and the thirst she stirs in him is hard to master.

This is paranormal romance with a dark, dangerous edge. The two leads are thrown together against a common enemy, and the attraction between a human and an immortal who wants her blood drives the tension as much as the hunt does. Denise's friendship with Cat ties the story to Cat's own world.

Spade holds himself back, because he believes one drop of her blood spilled will doom them both. The pace is built on pursuit, secrets about Denise's family and restraint that is tested at every step.
