Rule number one, when living with aliens, never make assumptions.

Rule number two, knowledge is power.

Rule number three, don't fall  in love.

Assigned as an interpreter to the Cyngi, Liaison Sadie Beckit is left in the dark. The mysterious species’ data chip, from head quarters, holds minimal information and Ambassador Nual refuses to give her more. As the Red Dawn is held under siege in a remote part of space, the crew and passengers fight for their lives.  Sadie's orders are to escape but her heart is already a hostage.

Falling in love was not in her orders and broke rules one through three.

Sent on a mission to lure Budapest's vampire Overlord into a trap, Connie Bence is instead caught red handed by the dark casanova.  Her employer has concrete proof of the dubious leader’s misdeeds but she is surprised when this ruthless killer, Rurik, offers her protection and rescues her from his own kind.  It plants seeds of doubt in her mind and she begins to question his guilt. 

Now she is thrown into his world where blackmail determines her every move and where she must betray those she cares about or let them die.  The stakes are high. She either puts her trust in Rurik or leads him to his execution. 

 Love or life.
