Romance Paranormal

Shanrak Protector Aiden Marschant catches up to his prey in a roughneck Paducah bar, but the murdering rogue vampire strikes again, leaving behind an orphaned infant in his victim's car. Aiden can't turn the baby over to human authorities and risk exposing himself and the secrets of his people, but neither can he abandon the child. His only choice is to take her home with him.

Witnesses at the bar confirm rookie sheriff's deputy Shanna Preston's fear that the woman with her throat torn out is another victim of the infamous serial killer, the Bloodsucker, who's left a trail of dead women across four states. But there may be a second suspect. When government agents take over the investigation, Shanna gets herself assigned to the task force, determined to help bring down this murdering monster.

A baby in the house convinces Aiden he must find someone else to care for her before his unexpected fatherly instinct awakens the dangerous, forbidden mating urge--the bloodlust. Following Deputy Preston from the morgue to a café, he hopes to enlist her help. She suspects he's not only a kidnapper, but a killer, and his unexpected attraction to her warns him to part company and leave no trace behind. But Shanna is stronger and more determined than he realizes, and she soon tracks him to his doorstep. When the bloodlust takes over, Aiden fears he won't control himself long enough to kill the rogue he's after. But his biggest worry is whether Shanna-- and he--will survive his bloodlust.
