AT THE CROSSROADS OF DEATH AND DESIRE, A WOMAN TASTES A PLEASURE NO
MORTAL IS MEANT TO SURVIVE.
In the frozen Alaskan wilderness, former state trooper Jenna Darrow
survives an unspeakable breach of body and soul. But with her
narrow escape comes an even greater challenge. For strange changes
are taking place within her, as she struggles to understand--and
control--a new hunger. To do so, she will seek shelter in the
Boston compound of the Order, an ancient race of vampire warriors
whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps the most
mysterious of them all is Brock, a brooding, dark-eyed alpha male
whose hands hold the power to comfort, heal . . . and arouse.
As she recovers under Brock's care, Jenna finds herself drawn to
the Order's mission: to stop a ruthless enemy and its army of
assassins from subjecting Earth to a reign of terror. Yet in spite
of their resolve, a purely physical relationship without strings
soon binds Brock and Jenna together with a desire fiercer than life
and stronger than death itself--until a secret from Brock's past
and Jenna's own mortality challenges their forbidden love to the
ultimate trial by fire.

"NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER
In this pulse-pounding and thrillingly sensual novel, Lara Adrian
returns to the mesmerizing world of the Midnight Breed, following
new characters into a dark future where an uneasy peace can unravel
into war--and a great betrayal can mask an all-consuming love.
Twenty years after the terror of First Dawn--when mankind learned
that vampires lived secretly among them--the threat of violence
reigns as the two species struggle to coexist. The only group
preserving the fragile harmony is the Order, an elite cadre of
Breed warriors dedicated to protecting humans and vampires alike.
And in this precarious world of torn loyalties and shattered trust,
Mira, a fiery squad captain, finds that every fight bears an
intensely personal cost.
Raised among the Order, Mira has always believed in the warrior's
code of swift--and even lethal--justice. But the one thing she
desires more than the Order's hard-won acceptance is Kellan Archer,
a sexy but troubled Breed fighter. In love with him since
childhood, Mira once broke through his tough exterior during an
unexpected night of rapture, but the next day he mysteriously
disappeared, never to return.
Kellan didn't think he would ever see Mira again--or have to
confront the truth of why he left. After abandoning the Order years
ago, he now leads a band of human rebels intent on carrying out
their own vigilante rule of law. Yet a high-profile kidnapping
assignment brings him face-to-face with the past he sought to
avoid, and the striking woman he has tried desperately to forget.
And as tensions mount and the risk of bloodshed grows, Kellan and
Mira must take sides--between the competing missions that dominate
their lives, and the electrifying passion that claims their hearts.
