 | Human blood is an illicit and addictive drug--if you're a vampire. Termed Red, it causes insanity and death. Red-addicted vampires called Poisoners are killing women, leaving behind bodies and risking exposure of the vampire race. Then one victim survives… Dr. Evan Nichols, oncologist and vampire, has chosen a monk-like existence, focusing on patient care and research benefitting his vampire brethren. Twenty-five years ago his world changed forever—the night he lost his fiancee and discovered his vampire heritage. Now his government has ordered him to choose a partner. It’s an unwelcome prospect, until he meets a human female. Wary of relationships, Tara West pours her energies into inventing cutting-edge climbing equipment. Avoiding romantic entanglements has simplified her life. Despite her best intentions to resist, she finds herself involved with Nichols. When a Red-addicted vampire poisons Tara, Evan rescues her, but that alone won’t save her life. The toxin kills in one hundred hours. Tara’s only chance is an antidote, a cure requiring the venom of the bastard who poisoned her. Evan must find this Poisoner before the madman dies of his addiction. With time running out, Evan races to formulate the cure before he loses his chance at love.
