Wanted: A woman who won't freak out at the sight of blood and three-inch fangs. Must like scaly, reptilian aliens. Love optional. Saddled with the quest to find a biologically compatible female species, Phantom Warrior Bacchus stows away aboard a ship bound for Earth. Upon arrival, he discovers a world teeming with women. All he has to do is pick one and hope that mating with a member of the Blood Clan doesn't kill her. Carrie Rittner has had a rough year. Between losing her fiancé, threats to her safety, and an emotionally distant brother, she's ready to pack it in and start anew. When Bacchus shows up at her door claiming to be sent by her wayward sibling, Carrie takes one look at the sexy man and decides he's a complication she does not need. When danger strikes, Bacchus proves he's a good man to have on her side, but it'll take more than his chemically charged pheromones and forked tongue to convince Carrie that they're made for each other. Bacchus will have to use all his serpentine charm to get her to accept the ultimate love bite.
