Blood and Sand

Dead women are showing up in the Mojave Desert, but water vampire and feared enforcer, Baojia, is stuck entertaining the rich and clueless at a club in San Diego. He's taken exile with all the grace he could muster, but patience with his sire is starting to thin. When a story about dead women in the desert comes to the attention of reporter Natalie Ellis, she can't help but pay attention. Are these women the victims of a serial killer, or something even more insidious? Sparks fly when mortal and immortal are thrown together. Pursuing the truth could cost Baojia everything, including the mortal woman who has earned his grudging respect.
