Blind dates can be bad, but Sarah Dearly’s date is a true contender for worst ever. His neck nibbling didn’t just leave a bruise; it turns her into a vampire – and the newest target for a pack of zealot vampire hunters.

With her date now their latest victim, Sarah runs for her immortal life – straight into Thierry de Bennicoeur, a master vampire who is just a wee bit suicidal. Thierry can’t resist a damsel in distress and agrees to teach Sarah how to live the vampire life if she’ll help him end his own. But as it turns out, Sarah may be his best reason for living.
