Abigail Starland, better known as Star, is a kick-ass C.I.A. agent in a covert new branch of the agency. But she’s also a shape-shifting vampire from the Revolutionary War Era, and she’s fought in every major conflict since. She is the best, and she goes without question where humans fear to tread. According to the CIA, she doesn't exist. She fears nothing, that is, until she's assigned as bodyguard to Zachary Davis, the eighteen-year-old son of her boss. When they fall in love, the trouble begins. She soon discovers that The Others—rogue, uncontrollable vampires—are after him. Will Star be able to save Zac from her past, or will her past finally be the death of her? 

Follow Star on a roller coaster ride of twists and turns, deception and betrayals, as Star tries to keep one teenage boy alive in the face of unsurmountable danger as she treads a fine line between the world of vampires and humans. 

C.I.A. Vampires

In a flash, Annie crossed the room, taking me into her arms, letting me cry on her shoulder. "It'll be okay, Abigail. Zac will be okay, I promise."


"I know, Annie," I replied. "Thanks. It's just hard. I know what he's going through. And I know he's trying to protect me from it, but him pushing me away feels too much like a rejection. I just hope he still wants me after he's a vamp." 


"What?" Annie smiled, pulling me back to look into my eyes, incredulous. "Please tell me you didn't say that, Star! For someone so smart, you sure can think the dumbest things!"


"Thanks a lot, Annie," I replied, pushing away from her, crossing my arms. "A lot of help you are."


"Abbey," Annie said, placing a gentle hand on my shoulder. "He loves you. He will love you just as much if not more when he's a vamp. Trust me." She looked deeply into my eyes, forcing me to look at her. "He's just hurting right now and he doesn't want you to see him that way. He's trying to protect you. Respect his wishes."
