Shirley Ericson, a private detective grew up on the dangerous streets of Aquila and believes there is nothing left to amaze her. All that changes the night she stalled a teenager, Merry  Larson into the shadows-and becomes a pawn caught in a war between two very different men. 

One fills her mind with his madness, the other pushes his way into her life and her heart. Shirley knows how risky love can be, but if she wishes to survive, she must position her faith in a man who could handily demolish her.
Ethan Hunt has come to Aquila assumed to end the conflict between himself and another brother of the night by the name Flinch. For 400 years he has prevailed in life's darkness, slowly studying how to control the life from death  of a vampire. 
Shirley did not only block his dangerous boundaries with her psychic capacities but makes Ethan believe that he might have found a lady that is strong enough to walk by his side and alleviate the loneliness in his heart. 
But will his affection be enough to shield her from a crazy man hell-bent on vengeance? Or will it steer her into his enemy's deadly ambush?
For them to overcome this evil that threatens them, they must stay together, But the secrets they keep from each other might prove to be the greatest threat of all.

He grunted and shoved his hands into his pockets. His casual stance didn't fool her for a second. His arms and shoulders were tense. He was ready to move, ready to blur into night.

"Or what? You'll stick me with your little knife?" He snorted . "Sweetie, you won't even see me move."

"I don't have to. I'm psychic, remember. I can smell evil."

She raised an eyebrow. "You did a circuit of this park before you walked in here, did you not? Starting from the zoo end and working your way around?"

He sneered. "That's nothing more than a guess."

"No guess. You don't know as much about me as you think, Farmer. And what you don't know will kill you."

"Will it now? Shall we test your little bluff?"
