Maslow's Needs — Sheri Gilmore

Genre: Goth/Vampire; BDSM

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: To attain our greatest potential we have to meet our most basic needs.

Want to know the real truth about vampires? Homicide detective Jessi Tanner thinks she does, when a young woman turns up dead in her Mississippi town. But then she meets Drayden Maslow, a man who purports to lead a community of vampires. A man who she is drawn to psychically and sexually against her better judgment.

Drayden is a Sanguinarian Vampire, fighting his basic needs for blood and sex. He's determined to protect his people from discovery, at the same time as he protects Jessi from the killer. But he craves Jessi's ‘chi'. He needs Jessi.

Thrown into a world of vampirism and witchcraft, Jessi seeks the help of renowned Dark Neopagan Konstantinos, and while he teaches her protection spells against the evil she seeks, he cannot protect her from her own basic needs… or her attraction and addiction to Drayden.
