Once bitten, twice shy... Private detective GianMarco Grimaldi takes his pleasure wherever he pleases. A six-hundred-year-old vampire, he's tortured by his past and jaded by immortality. Once a promising artist, a personal tragedy has turned him to a life of bitter solitude, avoiding anything and anyone who reminds him of the life he used to live. Fed up with GianMarco's habit of sleeping with the secretaries in their detective agency, GianMarco's business partner hires someone he thinks GianMarco will have no interest in: Maggie Williams. Maggie's trying to put the pieces of her life back together after her husband of twenty-three years left her for another woman. Determined to start her new job with pride, she's dismayed to meet her arrogant, super-sexy boss. As passion threatens their hearts, a powerful enemy from GianMarco's past threatens their very lives.
