Vampires and werewolves are natural enemies. Therefore, Andre has no regrets about killing Raúl, the Alpha of the Wintermane pack, who plans to attack the Crimson Cathedral nightclub, revealing the presence of vampires to the human world. When Sand learns of his brother's murder, he debates seeking revenge because he hates Raúl, who backed their father when he forced Sand out of the pack for being gay. Then, he discovers that Estebe, the new Alpha, plans to continue Raúl's mission. Things come to a head when Sand, a bodyguard, escorts a client's daughter to the nightclub and the club's owner tells Andre to find out why Sand is there. Despite their differences, instant lust drives Andre into Sand's bed-but not before they agree to work together to stop Estebe. Can they successfully end Estebe's existence -- and survive? And, will their relationship stand a chance as lust turns to an attraction that defies the belief that they are supposed to be mortal enemies?

Unnatural Allies

Do I want to avenge Raúl’s death? For damned sure he wouldn’t avenge mine, if the situation was reversed. He’d figure I got what I deserved. On the other hand, if he was killed by a vampire then I owe it to every werewolf in existence to deal with him, or her I suppose, before they strike again. The bastards have no honor. They don’t think they need a reason, a real one, to try to kill us. They never have. Yeah, there’s supposed to be a truce of some sort, after the last war decimated our populations almost a hundred years ago. More honored in the breach than the observance now, or something like that.
