Welcome back to the Bloodhound Guild, where loyalty is the law. And love is for life. Archer's Lady Rescuing the vampire-besieged town of Crystal Springs is the worst job yet in Archer's quest to earn back the trust of his fellow bloodhounds. Grace, a professional liar, built a respectable life as a border schoolteacher. But when Archer catches her trying to flee, she knows it's only a matter of time before he sees through her con. Every knot of mystery they uncover binds them closer together-until investigation uncovers a secret that could make betraying the Bloodhound Guild their only path to redemption. Diana's Hound Nate was a world-class inventor before a laboratory disaster turned him into a half-vampire, half-bloodhound abomination. Diana is another creature that shouldn't exist-a female bloodhound. While Nate seems torn between a desire to study her and a need to protect her, Diana's desire for him is a lot more carnal. As they team up to infiltrate the vampires' capital city, their inner bloodhounds feel the mating pull. Which means they could both end up worse than dead...for a bloodhound never survives his mate for long. Warning: Contains a partly reformed con-artist, a mostly retired bank-robber, a badass vampire hunter and a broody half-vampire looking for a reason to live again. Also included: an alarming amount of dirty talk and borderline-criminal bedroom antics.
