First in a brand new series about a Chicago graduate student�'s introduction into a society of vampires.
Sure, the life of a graduate student wasn�'t exactly glamorous, but it was Merit�'s. She was doing fine until a rogue vampire attacked her. But he only got a sip before he was scared away by another bloodsucker���nd this one decided the best way to save her life was to make her the walking undead.
Turns out her savior was the master vampire of Cadogan House. Now she�'s traded sweating over her thesis for learning to fit in at a Hyde Park mansion full of vamps loyal to Ethan ���ord o�' the Manor���Sullivan. Of course, as a tall, green-eyed, four-hundred- year-old vampire, he has centuries�' worth of charm, but unfortunately he expects her gratitude���and servitude. But an inconvenient sunlight allergy and Ethan�'s attitude are the least of her concerns. Someone�'s still out to get her. Her initiation into Chicago�'s nightlife may be the first skirmish in a war���nd there will be blood.
