Book 4 of the Dead in the City series

Beloved author Sara Humphreys' acclaimed paranormal romance series continues with sweltering attraction between two vampires who have all the time in the world to satisfy their desires...

He wants eternity?

Dakota Shelton is a vampire cowboy with a penchant for cinnamon lollipops and Johnny Cash. Though highly skilled and deadly dangerous to his enemies, he's still a Texas good ol' boy at heart. And he has that heart set on wooing Trixie LaRoux—the most badass punk rock chick in town—the old-fashioned way.

Over her undead body...

Trixie is tough as nails and sharp as a silver stake—the last thing she wants is a man to sit on a porch and not grow old with. So it'll take going to hell and back fighting a new threat to vampires before she admits Dakota's courtship makes her blood hum. Turns out chivalry's not dead after all.

Dead in the City series:

Tall, Dark and Vampire (Book 1)

Vampire Trouble (Book 2)

Vampires Never Cry Wolf (Book 3)

The Good, the Bad and the Vampire (Book 4)

        Humphreys switches from the McGuire Brothers series (Brave the Heat, 2015) to her paranormal Dead in the City series. Dakota Shelton is the newest sentry for the New York City coven. A Texas cowboy with a drawl and an odd longing for cinnamon lollipops, he can't help but feel out of place in this crazy group of vampires, angels, and werewolves. Trixie LaRoux is tough as they come, but Dakota knows underneath the makeup and the wild hairdo there is a woman who makes his heart, if he had one, sing. When gargoyles make an appearance, Dakota and Trixie must put aside their fears and buried secrets to find out why these creatures have returned and what they are after. Trixie will do anything to protect Chelsea, her human daughter, who is somehow caught up in this mess. Watching Trixie emerge from her shell pleased Dakota, while her take-charge attitude in the bedroom turns on this cowboy something fierce. Sexy, hot, and full of sass, this is one vampire cowboy romance not to be missed.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
