He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not. The unit has never had a human in it, and Marcus-or as I like to call him, Fangy McFangface-would really prefer to keep it that way. How to Elude a Vampire is the second in the VRC series and contains a display of manly prowess that doesn’t go as desired, reluctant bonding with a new pet, interfering with a snarky Russian’s love life, misuse of office supplies, a vampire with a killer fashion sense but very little game, a total lack of ancient kung fu powers, a feisty human who almost always gets his way and the possessive vampire who adores him.Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part what’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner, an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. What I do know is that my future is with Finn, no matter what happens. I want to be by Finn’s side to keep him safe, but at the same time, Finn’s fighting for the freedom he’s always wanted after being forced to live a life of fear. Before Finn and I can settle into our new life together, we’re called in as lead detectives when a body is found in the river, and the case soon hits closer to home than we anticipated. Now that he’s the brightest part of my days, I’m unsure of how I existed without him. When Finn joined the VRC, I never expected how everything would change. Being with him is more than I could have dreamed, and even with the trials thrown in our way, he never fails to make me smile. But Marcus loves me for who I am, even if he’s not crazy about the cute pet names I call him like McBitey. If that includes pestering Marcus and harassing my fellow detectives, they’d better learn to love it, because I’m not going anywhere even if they like to remind me I’m the only human working in a department filled with vampires. We can’t always allow the past to haunt us.

But as the days stretch on and nothing happens, I become determined not to allow that monster to rule my life, and decide that Marcus and I will move on. When the vampire stalking me sent me a letter, I was prepared for my new life with the man I love to get thrown into chaos.
