Jo Tepes is not human. At least, not entirely. She lives in two worlds and yet she has never felt that she entirely belongs in either. The thin space between the world as it is and the world as humans see it is maddening at times. Pulled between what she wants and what is expected of her is only one of many battles. Fending off greedy FBI agents who are in constant need of her unique DNA and keeping the arrogant High Blood Prince at a distance are enough to keep any girl busy. Throw in a kidnapping or two, a nearly deadly assault on her brother and a collection of family secrets and Jo's...

Josephine Tepes has no idea who her heart belongs to. The High Blood who is technically her husband and who won't sleep with her until she admits she loves him? Even though she can barely be in his presence without her body exploding with desire? Or does her heart belong to the once human Jesse who has returned from the dead in a new, more frightening form? If she had some time, she might be able to figure it out. But as usual, life isn't about to give her a moment of peace.
