Gavriel has secrets...deep and undeadly ones. He’s a vampire, and so are his staff members.

Los Angeles Detective Shaine Conlon gets more than he bargains for during a routine inquiry with Gavriel de Pamana, owner of an elite, mysterious security company called C.L.O.S.E. Shaine’s partner, Jesse, is convinced the firm is shady and wants to investigate claims that one of C.L.O.S.E.’s star bodyguards, a young Asian woman named Tinglan, may have come onto the female pop star she was supposed to protect. For Shaine, visiting the office of the company’s Century City headquarters is disturbing. Giant white paintings lining the hallways seem to have bleeding wounds. As for the owner himself, he’s the sexiest man, and also the most troubling Shaine’s ever met.

Gavriel de Pamana runs a tight ship in the new world of female bodyguards trained in China and dispatched all over the world to protect the richest people on the planet, so he’s stunned by allegations that his star employee would behave in any way to reflect badly on the company.

But Gavriel has secrets...deep and undeadly ones. He’s a vampire, and so are his staff members. When Tinglan vanishes, he wonders if somebody in his firm is working to destroy him. Not only that, but Gavriel finds himself attracted to Shaine Conlon.

But he can’t get close to a cop, a human one at that. Or can he?
