Attorney Sara Constantine is thrilled with her promotion -- until she finds out that she must now prosecute vampires and werewolves. The first defendant she has to try to put away is Luciu Dragos, a man with whom she recently shared a night of passion. When Lucius kisses a beautiful woman sitting next to him at the bar, he's only hoping to avoid the gaze of the man he's planning to kill. But what starts as a simple kiss ignites into passion. Charged with murder, Luke knows that Sara is determined to see him locked away -- unless he can convince her that he's not a monster. And that might mean making the ultimate sacrifice.
