Third in the Blood Dreams series

The balance between night and day has been disrupted, resulting in increasing darkness. The entire Blue family questions whether the eternal equilibrium of good and evil been upset. Blue's father suspects Count Simon Ruthven is responsible. Blue Dampier is a vampire hunter, and her willowy body, auburn curls and blue eyes belie her natural huntress abilities.

Blue, together with brother Jordan and their pixie-sized cousin, Taryn Blue, continue the family business. Taryn has learned skills that augment her inheritance of mystical powers of magic, psychic and the unseen. Jordan, physically challenged, is in charge of the computer and scientific aspects.

The trio's search for answers leads to the Club Hell Fire, notorious hangout for popular society and vampires looking for the hottest club scenes. The mysterious Count Ruthven appears in New York City. He has secrets, but they have nothing to do with the unexplained global changes, and everything to do with Blue, the woman.

His life, and his true identity, comes as a big surprise to Blue. The truth doesn't change her feelings—she's loved him for as long as she can remember. Her question was whether he cared for her. Three times he rejected her, so she's hesitant to give him her trust. His words and promises could merely be a way to distract her from his secrets.

But she can't resist what Simon offers and allows their passion to rage wildly. Together, they hunt for an answer to the world's imbalance, but struggle to resolve the fundamental issue threatening to keep them apart—forever.
