Vampire Alexei Novik may have the teeth and the coffin, but he's given up the lifestyle for an old fixer-upper in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Weary of his past, Alex plans to keep to himself, but it seems his sexy, new neighbor, Tate, can't take the hint-a good thing, since it turns out he's handy for all kinds of things around the house. Tate even gets along with Alex's werewolf friends, though one of them pointedly reminds Alex that their friendship is a bad idea.
If a platonic relationship is a bad idea, the growing attraction between Tate and Alex is a disaster waiting to happen. Loving Tate will draw him into Alex's dangerous world, and Alex is torn between having the relationship he's always craved and keeping Tate safe. Tate won't take no for an answer, however, and seems to handle everything Alex can throw at him without blinking. Just when he thinks things might turn out all right after all, Alex's past catches up with him-forcing him to make a terrible choice.
