<p><em>Jess Vandermire, Vampire Hunter</em> . . .<br />
<br />
Tough vampire cop, Jess Vandermire, fights against her unholy brethren in New York City to protect the two men she loves more than life itself. But Jess is waging a personal war, too&mdash;to save the tiny shred of soul she has left. If she loses, so does the city . . .<br />
<br />
New York City is in the grasp of a deadly, unseen enemy. But Lieutenant Jess Vandermire, New York City police officer, is uniquely specialized to recognize and fight this threat. It&rsquo;s her job to forge a black ops team&mdash;a team that is tough and, if need be, expendable. Jess understands what she&rsquo;s fighting and what&rsquo;s at stake. For her, it&rsquo;s all about retribution&hellip; until she recruits ex-cop John Brittain . . .<br />
<br />
Suddenly, her priorities aren&rsquo;t quite so easily definable. John Brittain has a chip on his shoulder and is as strong as they come. But is he ready for the whole truth? That combating &ldquo;super&rdquo; vampires whose primal need for blood and the addictive drug &ldquo;Sunshine&rdquo; is only the beginning of their problems?<br />
<br />
Because Jess has a secret. And when John finds out, will he stay and fight with her? Or will he realize that she&rsquo;s the enemy, too?<br />

Lina Gardiner, award-winning author of the <em>Jess Vandermire, Vampire Hunter Series</em>, has writing in her blood. Her books have been well received by such reviewers as <em>Kirkus Reviews</em> and <em>USA Today</em>&rsquo;s HEA blog, including a 4.5-star rating from RT Book Reviews and a nomination for a <em>Romantic Times</em> Reader&rsquo;s Choice Award. On the home front, Lina lives in New Brunswick, Canada, a hot spot for legendary ghosts, tall tales and odd happenings, which probably add to her love of a good mystery. The spooky stories her grandfather told his grandchildren in the 'parlor' when their grandmother wasn&#39;t paying attention didn&rsquo;t hurt either . . .</p>
