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?

“Then we’ll plan on meeting here tomorrow evening,” Thorin said. “Now, unless there’s something else we have to discuss, I need to talk with my other employees about the closure and what I expect of them.”


“I’m good,” Sand told him, and Andre nodded.


When Thorin was gone, Andre said, “I think you should get away from all this for a while. Come home with me.”


Sand grinned. “You do know you’re part of ‘all this’.”


“I was teasing. I’d like to see what your palatial home is like.”


“Hardly palatial. My car is still parked in the valet lot since we’ve been using other means of transportation.”


“This isn’t a car, it’s a chariot,” Sand said in awe when he saw Andre’s McLaren Spider.


Andre laughed. “It does the job of getting me from A to B. Maybe a bit flashier than some of the other cars on the road, but where’s the fun in owning something you’re not proud of?”
