He watches her from across the crowded dance club, a sensual black-haired stranger who stirs Gabrielle Maxwell's deepest fantasies. But nothing about this night—or this man—is what it seems. For when Gabrielle witnesses a murder outside the club, reality shifts into something dark and deadly. In that shattering instant she is thrust into a realm she never knew existed—a realm where vampires stalk the shadows and a blood war is set to ignite.
Lucan Thorne despises the violence carried out by his lawless brethren. A vampire himself, Lucan is a Breed warrior, sworn to protect his kind—and the unwitting humans existing alongside them—from the mounting threat of the Rogues. Lucan cannot risk binding himself to a mortal woman, but when Gabrielle is targeted by his enemies, he has no choice but to bring her into the dark underworld he commands.
Here, in the arms of the Breed's formidable leader, Gabrielle will confront an extraordinary destiny of danger, seduction, and the darkest pleasures of all.

"This book was great and started the love of all things breed for me. Lara uses romance, action and has a really good story line with a few surprises thrown in from time to time. I highly recommend this series to everyone I know and even those that I dont. "

" it's just like the BDB "

— Brandi, 1/25/2014" It was true to the "smutt novel"(there is nothing wrong with that by the way) It had a pretty good story and reading around the steamy sex parts , you could also invest on the main charaters. "
— Mandy, 1/13/2014" This is the very first book of read of Lara. I have always been a sucker for vampires and romance. From the minute I sat down to read, I fell in love with the characters. There emotions and turmoil they feel draw me in. Can't wait to read book 2! "

— Stephanie, 7/16/2013" I couldn't finish this book. I got about 40% done and it was a struggle. I kept thinking this was Black Dagger Brotherhood's ugly step sister. While I like BDB a great deal, this book was too damn close and poorly written. "
