This book is dedicated to my mother.
Sometimes when life doesn’t turn out as planned,
the only thing we can do is hang on for the ride.
I know it’s been bumpy, but keep
hanging on for me,
I love you!

BRENT BRADDOCK HAD NEVER been the type of man to beat around the bush when it came to something he wanted. He was straightforward. Determined. Persistent.
One hundred and fifty years as a vampire who fed off both blood and sex hadn’t changed him much.
