Two and a half weeks. That's all the time he has left. When loner vampire hunter Kassy is interrupted by nosy veteran, Mike, he ends up bitten, and infected with the vampire parasite. The warrior becomes her prey as she fights to find him before powerful vamps do. A couple kidnappings later, she's hiding in a cabin with him chained to the floor, and an eight-year-old girl in her care. Death? Inevitable. When the parasite takes control, he'll do or say anything to get non-infected blood-including seducing her. But, as they spend time together, she finds her resolve weakening. A kiss won't fix him, but it might mend a deep hole in her heart. Kassy is too practical to believe in miracles, but if he survives eighteen days without ingesting human blood, there is a chance he could be the hero she's been looking for. Odds are, he's a dead man.
