Being an immortal rogue enforcer is never easy. But when human bones are found buried in a residential garden— and they happen to be discovered by your life mate— things get even more complicated in this latest installment of New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands’ s wickedly alluring Argeneau vampire series.
Crispinus Delacort is an immortal rogue enforcer and a homicide detective. But in his quiet city, he’ s more likely to be rounding up truant teens than investigating murders. So, when he learns that human bones have been found in the garden of a sprawling rural home, it’ s unexpected to say the least.
Abril Newman can’ t believe her bad luck when she discovers a body buried on the grounds of her boss’ s home, while chasing after Gina’ s mischievous lab Lilith. She was just supposed to be house-sitting for a few days! And then Detective Delacort arrives. She knows she shouldn’ t be thinking about love when there’ s a crime scene outside the door. But ignoring her attraction to gorgeous Crispin is easier said than done.
When Crispin realizes that a rogue is involved, he knows this won’ t be a simple investigation. Especially because he’ s so distracted by Abril’ s presence that all he wants is to kiss her senseless in every room of the manor. But he can woo her, solve the case, and stop a dangerous rogue by morning. . . right? All in a day’ s work.
