Xander Jakande is an ex-mercenary trying to redeem his dark past by joining his twin brother, Leandro, and the rest of the Fraternidad in the fight against the evil Romani. He hopes to find a mate in the process. Marcos Morales is an ex-addict in need of an attitude adjustment who's trying to carve out a future...alone. As Xander searches the nighttime streets in search of blood, he comes upon Marcos. Although the attraction is undeniable, both have very hard heads. Will Xander tame the reluctant Marcos, claiming him as his mate for eternity? Or will Marcos retaliate by killing the overbearing vampire for changing him into a vampire against his will, although Xander is already technically dead? In the midst of a vampire war in the city of Zaragoza, Spain, anything can happen between skirmishes and late-night feedings, even finding true love.
