B.B.'s best friend Atty goes missing and he doesn't know what to do, but then luck is on his side when the new coven leader Fabian Valentine and his brother, Silas show up asking questions about Atty's disappearance. But when B.B. talks to the vamps, he brings trouble down on his head in the form of two thugs showing up at his door and beating the crap out of him.
When the gorgeous B.B. arrives for their private meeting, away from prying eyes, and shows up badly beaten, Silas is suddenly filled with a sense of protectiveness he has never known. Then getting one whiff of B.B.'s blood explains everything he needs to know about the sharp tongued hottie. B.B. is his mate.
The Valentine brothers take B.B. back to their home where Silas helps him heal and explains that B.B. is his mate. At first B.B. is excited, knowing what that means, even though he is just a human, but suddenly his is consumed with fear of what could be. Not that he doesn't want Silas, because he does, B.B. is just afraid that he will hurt the gorgeous vamp because his parents were not the most faithful people, so B.B. is afraid of Silas tying himself to B.B. for eternity.
When Atty is rescued, but suddenly his new friend and one of Silas's brothers, Jasper, is captured, and Silas beats himself up over Jasper's kidnapping, B.B. can't just sit back and do nothing. He wants to help find his new friend and in turn also help his mate from the guilt he suffers.
So B.B. sets out alone to find some answers, but ends up in the same predicament as Jasper. The two are now the captives of the same sick bastards that held Atty, a group of human traffickers, who want to sell them to the highest bidder.
When Silas and his brothers find out what has happened to B.B. and who is holding him and possibly their youngest brother Jasper, they know they are working against the clock to get them back before they are sold and never heard from again.
Can Silas find B.B. and Jasper in time? And if he does, will they be the same or will the horrors they had to face changed them forever?
