Urick is a magnificent beastÑwhen he isnÕt turning to stone. HeÕs not just grizzly bear and gargoyle, heÕs also vampire, a part of himself he keeps locked down tighter than the nails in an undeadÕs coffin. UriÕs hatred for vampireÕs is personal. He needs to find his Chosen One, the woman fated to be his mate, before his anger turns him to stone for good. Too bad his Chosen One is a vampire. Violet isnÕt proud to be a vampire, but sheÕs trying hard to make up for it. Her hunting blade has more vampire blood lodged in its hilt than a blood bank. Uri would be next on her list if he wasnÕt so quick and strong. HeÕs kidnapped her and stripped herÉof her weapons, although Violet wouldnÕt mind a little romp with her captor, gigantic flaws and all. After all, she has a flaw of her own, one she must keep hidden. Her father is the vampire who imprisoned Uri to be his blood slave. Uri is learning to trust Violet. But when her secret brings up his past, will it destroy every chance they have at love?
