With Valerie's mate back in her arms and her pregnancy well under way, she thought she should be able to simply enjoy some peace and quiet. Should is the operative word, and Trey and Valerie couldn't even enjoy a relaxing flight over the desert without finding trouble. Vampires, and they weren't any she recognized. Where they came from and why they were in the middle of the desert, out in the open with daylight on the way, were only two of the many questions she had for them. The answers will take half-vampire/half-witch Valerie Hanigan and her dragon-shifting mate, Trey, on a journey they never contemplated and in no way felt ready for. Life, however, has a way of forcing issues, pushing for more, and presenting Valerie with a vicious life lesson when warnings aren't heeded.
