For Mia Alexander, the world is getting hotter-literally. Not only is she slathering on gobs of sunscreen, but she's developed a ravenous desire for rare meat. As if that wasn't strange enough, a freaking hottie-like-no-other just moved in next door and can't seem to keep his gaze off of her. Campbell Reid has wandered this earth as a vampire for a long time, but since the tragedy of his family's death, he's perfected an unbreakable control-until he encounters his latest assignment. His mission from The Supernatural Council is to safeguard her from other vampires as she transitions and defend from an emerging threat. But can he protect her from himself? Things heat up as the danger closes in, and Campbell fights by her side as The Vampire Next Door.
