While his parents are away, vampire hybrid Patrick Woodford finds himself thrust into command of Scanguards. His temporary leadership is immediately tested by a brutal murder in the Presidio, an investigation that initially indicates a vampire attack but quickly hints at a far more sinister, preternatural threat. When Dr. Fallon Doyle asks Scanguards for protection from her obsessive ex-boyfriend, Patrick is hesitant to take her case, but after a terrifying attack on Fallon, he realizes her stalker is far more menacing than he appears. As Patrick races against the clock to solve the gruesome murder and shield Fallon from the escalating danger, an undeniable attraction sparks between them. But the stakes are higher than either could have imagined. Fallon is in grave peril, a danger far beyond any initial prediction. Can they unearth the truth and fight the encroaching darkness, or will their chance at a future together be extinguished before it even begins? ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Lara Adrian, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Midnight Breed series: "I'm addicted to Tina Folsom's books! The Scanguards® series is one of the hottest things to happen to vampire romance. If you love scorching, fast-paced reads, don't miss this thrilling series!" ABOUT THE SERIES The Scanguards Vampires series is full of fast-paced action, scorching love scenes, witty dialogue, and strong heroes and heroines. Vampire Samson Woodford lives in San Francisco and owns a security/bodyguard company, Scanguards, which employs both vampires and humans. And eventually some witches. Throw in a few immortal guardians and demons later in the series, and you'll get the drift! Each book can be read as a standalone and always centers around a new couple finding love, but the series is more enjoyable when read in order. And of course, there are always a few running jokes - you'll understand when you meet Wesley, a wannabe witch. Enjoy!
