His to Protect — Alice Cain

When Tyler Defoe discovers his best friend has been murdered, he can barely comprehend his loss, so when the investigator sent in the sheriff's place suggests that Logan might not be dead, Tyler is happy to believe him. Watching his friend wake as a vampire, however, isn't exactly what he expected.

Adrian Alateeka has been doing this for a long time. He and his siblings are well known in both the paranormal and human communities as security experts who can be trusted. A recent spate of murders in their home town, however, suggests a very personal attack on Adrian, his siblings, and the people who work for them.

Unwilling to leave a new vampire unprotected, and unable to ignore his astonishing physical attraction to the vampire's best friend, Adrian does the one thing he's never done before -- he takes his work home.

Caring for a new vampire is surprisingly difficult, and Tyler is very grateful for the help he gets from the Alateeka siblings, yet it's his own unruly hormones that seem to affect him the most. It doesn't help when he learns the hard way that feeding a vampire is very arousing, or that Adrian is quite willing and able to help Tyler cope.

Yet, even as emotions grow between Adrian and Tyler, the systematic attacks on vampires continue. With no leads and few clues, Adrian and his siblings scramble to identify how so many different attackers can be using the same MO.

But as they draw closer to answers, and motivations for murder are revealed, can Adrian protect everyone he loves from what's coming?
