The exciting sequel to... "A VAMPYRE'S DAUGHTER."Will a vampyre and a human be allowed to live together in peace?Living like a normal (albeit secluded) couple on the outskirts of Los Angeles, Brandt and Lia are managing to not only be safe but happy. Brandt works as a consultant for the Army's Special Division, and Lia is a successful author with sassy fellow-author friends. No one knows she is a vampyre. Instead, everyone believes Lia has a unique and fatal skin condition, prompting precautions everywhere she goes for her health. The UV shielding windows of her house, and high, solid walls of her Ventura ranch, adequately keep Lia safe. It all seems to be working to plan - until the cartel returns. Brandt is called to consult on a mass murder case at an abandoned factory. The telltale signs point to Mikhail's defunct cartel in what looks like an ominous message to Brandt. Is one of Mikhail's family or associates out for revenge against Brandt and Lia? Defensive measures are taken, and the new 24/7 security team Brandt hires become Lia's extended family. Despite the new threat, Lia is pleased to be the matriarch of a bustling domain, if she can just keep her secrets hidden. But forces are conspiring to push Mikhail's superhuman elixir into the open, and it's just a matter of time before someone finds out the ingredient that makes it so powerful: vampyre blood. A dangerous new cartel boss emerges with a scheme to make a poisonous elixir facsimile that will addict the mass public and destroy them from the inside out. He is a mystery to Brandt's Army division. No one has ever seen his face since he is always cloaked and masked, with amazing strength, speed, healing ability, and an intense desire to crush his enemies. Plus a murderous vendetta against Brandt and Lia. A year ago, on Lia's island, the couple had nothing to lose but their lives. Now there are friends and acquaintances caught in the crossfire of a diabolical plot to kill Brandt and drain Lia's body of her extraordinary vampyre blood. Brandt and Lia must once again battle the evil that hunts them. But this time, they are not alone.
