A deadly crash changes the fate of one lonely vampire. Brotherhood of Blood, Book 1 Vampire enforcer Atticus Maxwell stands at the edge of his own oblivion--until the faint heartbeat of a desperately wounded mortal woman calls him back. The terrible crash that almost took both their lives has brought him a charming, intriguing woman who just might give him a reason to live again. Lissa was headed for a conference at a resort in a last-ditch attempt to find a job. Instead, on a rain-slick mountain road that almost killed her, she finds the love of her life. A love with the most eligible, reclusive vineyard owner in Napa Valley--one that isn't quite human. No barrier--not even breaking the news to Lissa's friends--seems too great to hold back their blossoming love. Until they learn the accident that brought them together wasn't an accident at all, but a murder attempt by an unknown enemy. Atticus saved Lissa once. Can he keep her that way in the face of a renewed threat? This book has been previously published and has been substantially revised and expanded from its original release. Warning: This book contains graphic language, hot neck biting, outdoor loving and a hot man with a killer smile.
