He waved his hand in a dismissive gesture. “You shouldn’t believe anything you see on TV, don’t you know that?”
He stood abruptly and went to lean against the railing. “It really is a beautiful view. Very calm, too.”
“Wait until midnight,” Daisy said, troubled. “There’ll be fireworks all over the bay.”
“Fireworks, heh?” he turned, now leaning back against the balcony. He seemed tired. “Get me my next customer, then, so I can be done before midnight.”

She nodded and left the balcony, not bothering to tell him that it would only be nine. She would let him know later, she told herself. She wasn’t keeping quiet because he was slowly changing her mind about him, not at all.

In an indistinct future, humans and vampires are allied against the savage demons that relentlessly attack their cities. In the fortified town of Newhaven, a centuries-old vampire, Wilhelm, is slowly losing track of why he fights.

As years pass, however, and Aria becomes a young woman, then a vampire, his protectiveness slowly turns into love...
Baby Steps
As a Special Enforcer, Alexandra should know better than to get close to a vampire like Joseph, even if he saved her from certain death. The S.E. records name him as a likely killer, and his interest in her can't possibly mean anything good. And so when her friends introduce her to a potential human boyfriend, she ignores her feelings for Joseph and demands that he leaves her alone.
Fed up with her games, Joseph takes her to her word and leaves Cleveland, intending to put as much distance as possible between them and forget her along with his feelings for her.
Two years later, though, when Joseph has to return to Cleveland, he still cares about Alexandra, much more than he would like. And Alexandra, single again and now a new mom to baby girl Marian, never managed to completely put Joseph out of her life and mind.
Step by step, Alexandra will offer Joseph her friendship before entrusting him with her life and her child's. But will Joseph ever trust her again with his heart?
