After re-making and successfully matching the geekiest
vampire in existence, a knock-down drag-out with a deranged
serial killer, and wild and crazy sex with a to-die-for-if-
I-wasn't-already-dead bounty hunter/made vampire, Lil
Marchette is certain the excitement of opening Manhattan's
newest dating service is way over. She's been in business
over three months now, she has a nice, steady client base
to pay the bills and she's completely and totally over her
infatuation with Ty Bonner aka to-die-for-if-I-wasn't-
already-dead (he‘s a made vamp and she‘s a born one and it
just ain't gonna happen). Things are bound to settle down.
Not!
When a “secret” dater from The New York Times turns up dead-
-the newspaper has been working on an article about the
local dating scene--Lil finds herself the prime suspect in
his murder investigation.
Murder ? While Lil's a vamp, she doesn't do gore very well
and so the notion of her chopping some poor guy into little
pieces goes beyond ridiculous (although with a pick-up line
like “You must be a parking ticket, ‘cause you‘ve got FINE
written all over you“ , she can certainly see why someone
would want to). Lil is innocent, even if all the evidence
points directly to her.
In addition to New York's finest, Lil has a group of
desperate female werewolves breathing down her neck (pass
the Altoids please). The Connecticut chapter of the Naked
and Unashamed Nudist Sisterhood aka the N.U.N.S. need Lil
to match each of them with a decent mate before the next
full moon. Otherwise . . .
Lil isn't going to think about otherwise . She's an
optimist, after all, and a firm believer in true love.
While she hasn't exactly ventured into the werewolf
population--born vamps move in their own social circle--she
knows she can rise to the challenge. She'll simply find
three dozen strong, virile, male werewolves eager to give
up their wild, untamed ways and settle down. At the same
time, she'll do a little investigating of her own and clear
her name of all murder charges. And she'll do both without
thinking about Ty Bonner.
Okay, so maybe she'll think about him a little and,
perhaps, even see him. He is helping with the secret dater
investigation, which means a face-to-face is inevitable.
But she's not going the wild and crazy sex route again. No
way. No how. Nuh, uh. She's not getting any younger (five
hundred years and counting) and she's reserving the rest of
her orgasms for the perfect born vamp who can make perfect
little baby vamps with her.
In the meantime, Lil is keeping her mind on her business--
matching up her dead and dateless buddies, and a few furry
ones, too!
