Roman Draganesti makes the world a better place, in more
ways than one. His invention of synthetic blood provides a
safe and easy alternative to the world of medicine, but
really, that's just a side effect, because the real reason
he invented synthetic blood is to keep his fellow vampires
from feasting on humans. You see, Roman was a monk, a man
of God, when he was brutally infected 500 years ago. He
believes that his soul is damned to hell, that God has
abandoned him for good. When Roman breaks one of his fangs,
his only hope is to find an all-night dentistry, because
once he sleeps, his body will heal itself and his fang will
not be able to be reattached.
Shanna Whelan is a dentist. After witnessing her best
friend's brutal murder, Shanna entered the witness
protection program, and her career as a dentist is the only
thing she can take with her. She's left behind her
identity, her family and friends, and yet the one thing she
has left terrifies her. Shanna is afraid of blood. Working
as an all-night dentist, Shanna is bored, hardly ever has
customers and hardly ever sees blood.
When Roman arrives at Shanna's office, all he wants is for
her to fix his tooth. But that will have to wait, because
the Russian mob has finally found her. Soon all Roman wants
is to protect Shanna. He finds himself feeling things he
never expected to feel again, but how can he tell Shanna
this when she doesn't even know he's a vampire?
When Shanna finally finds out, will she be able to accept
Roman as he is? Can Roman accept himself? Ms. Sparks puts a
refreshing twist on vampire tales in this fast-paced,
pleasantly delightful page-turner.
Roman Draganesti is charming, handsome, rich ... he's also
a vampire. But this vampire just lost one of his fangs
sinking his teeth into something he shouldn't have. Now he
has one night to find a dentist before his natural healing
abilities close the wound, leaving him a lop-sided eater
for all eternity.
Things aren't going well for Shanna Whelan, either. After
witnessing a gruesome murder, she's next on the mob's hit
list. And her career as a dentist appears to be on a
downward spiral because she's afraid of blood. When Roman
rescues her from an assassination attempt, she wonders if
she's found the one man who can keep her alive. Though the
attraction between them is immediate and hot, can Shanna
conquer her fear of blood to fix Roman's fang? And if she
does, what will prevent Roman from using his fangs on
her ... ?
