Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A cathartic journey from despair to hope, delivering intense romantic fulfillment through a life-saving connection between a darkness-ravaged vampire and the EMT who becomes his anchor.

Synopsis

Since the day he stopped aging, Aiden has struggled against the darkness trying to claim him. He no longer denies he’s fighting a losing battle, he’s just hoping someone kills him before he gives in to the savage nature dwelling within him. Just when he believes he’ll lose the battle, he encounters Maggie, and for the first time in years, he has hope for his future. Having grown up without a stable home, Maggie enjoys the security she’s worked hard to attain. Everything changes the night Aiden ends up in her ambulance. Now, not only does Maggie stand to lose everything she’s achieved, she’s beginning to think the mother she considered insane might not be. With everything she knows torn away, Maggie realizes the more she loses, the more she might gain if she gives her trust to Aiden. However, when circumstances force them apart, Aiden is unsure if Maggie will be enough to bring him back from the darkness ravaging his soul. *Due to sexual content, violence, and language, this book is recommended for readers 18+ years of age.* Each book in this series involves a different couple.
