"If you want to prove yourself, then bleed for me."

Diego refuses to see themselves as their society's monster. Since fleeing their hometown—and the high school sweetheart who spurned their fangs—a decade ago, they've found a new home with the staff of a sensual role play club that creates fantasies for vampire-human couples. Working as the temporary stand in for humans with no vampire of their own, impassioned romance now seems like a thing of the past.

That is, until Diego's traitorous high school flame reappears in a storm of drama, claiming he's finally ready to earn their forgiveness—in whatever way Diego demands of him.

The man now trying to woo them back isn't quite the one they remember; he's aggressively forthright, persistently self-sacrificing, and strong in ways Diego could never have fathomed. But his sudden re-emergence comes just as the club is under threat, and any good thing might just be too good to be true.
