Edgar Burgess has devoted his life to keeping New York free of vampires, and is usually successful at sensing and staking them... at least until the night his beautiful next door neighbor and unrequited love is enthralled and kidnapped by one. Finding Molly McKillip becomes his life's focus at the expense of everything else.

Molly has always liked the rambunctious Burgess family, especially Edgar, and never thought she would see them again after being lured away from her home by a monster. Edgar's rescuing her from a vampire den is a shocking and unexpected surprise, and it's only the first one he has to deliver. Hearing him pour his heart out to her is the second. But before they can sort through their feelings for each other, they have one thing standing in their way: the vampire that's still stalking Molly.
