About this ebook
For Diego Salazar, the career his father had insisted was his destiny turned out to be the perfect preparation for the End of Times. The Army made him a warrior—and then it turned him into a monster.
As second-in-command of Fort Davis, deep in the New Frontier, his days have been spent hunting for other monsters and then spending their free time doing what comes naturally for vampires. Humans serve two purposes, and he's fine with that—until his unit accepts a ragtag bunch of survivors and brings them inside the military camp. Now, the one thing he thought would never happen to him—finding one woman who holds his interest longer than a night—happens in an instant of sudden, searing lust, and he quickly makes sure everyone knows he's claiming her for his own.
For Ramona Jeffers, the repeating message going out over the airwaves, inviting refugees to come to a safe haven at Fort Davis, is a beacon of hope. The leader of a small group of survivors that has been searching for refuge, she's weary from constantly scavenging for food and shelter and always watching over her shoulder for the dangers that hide in the darkness. When she arrives at Fort Davis and discovers that vampires are in charge, she sees her hopes crumbling before her eyes.
But the vampires there offer the refugees a deal—their labor and their blood, if they will give it—in exchange for a safe place for them and their families.
Knowing they may be risking everything, Ramona and her small "tribe" agree, not knowing that others are watching and waiting to take everything they have...
About the author
Once upon a time, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Delilah Devlin, lived in South Texas at the intersection of two dry creeks, surrounded by sexy cowboys in Wranglers. These days, she's missing the wide-open skies and starry nights, but loving her dark forest in central Arkansas with its eccentric characters and isolation--the better to feed her hungry muse! To Delilah, the greatest sin is driving between the lines because it's comfortable and safe. Her personal journey has taken her through one war, many countries, cultures, jobs and relationships to bring her to the place she travels now--writing romantic novels that hold more than a kernel of autobiography and often share a common thread of self-discovery and transformation.
