San Francisco was widely known as a hub for technology, sky-high rent prices, and a great night life. What nobody knew was that it was also home to a coven of vampires that had learned to blend in flawlessly. With two powerful leaders keeping things running smoothly, nobody could pose a threat to their way of life. The best threats, though, came from the inside.
The only thing Lock loved more than blood was power, which was why he'd been planning a flawless coup d'état for over a decade. Nothing would get in his way. When vampires suddenly started going feral in the streets, however, it was bound to complicate things. Lock was nothing if not imaginative, though. He wasn't afraid to paint the city in red, as long as he got what he wanted in the end.
When he met Sam, he found that what he wanted was more volatile than he'd expected. Killing her was the smartest move if he wanted everything to go according to plan. He refused to throw away a decade of planning for some redhead with a bad attitude. San Francisco would be his, even if he had to kill everybody that stood in his way.
