Francisco nightclub owner Carina Tranquilli works hard, plays hard,

Three
hauntingly familiar vampires emerge to reveal she possesses a latent

As she struggles to evade her new protectors, and even newer enemies,
she meets Alexander, an enigmatic, undead musician. Insta-attraction
flares, leaving her wanting more.
With
evil’s minions hounding her every move, and everything she thought
she knew turned on its head, Carina must harness her burgeoning
power, unravel her vampire family’s web of deceit and fight to
