Nathan Cotton

When Nathan meets Amy, she's in tears. Frustrated that she's not more interested in sex, her boyfriend has left to consider their relationship. Nathan knows he should leave the young woman alone - relationships with vampires can be hazardous for mortal females. But he can't fight the attraction, so he offers to become her sexual tutor and show her how to please her boyfriend.

Nathan wakes one evening to find a strange note in his mailbox. The handwritten invitation is to an exclusive vampire party, and it promises all of his appetites will be fulfilled. Concerned that someone knows what he is, he attends the party and discovers that the invitation was left in innocence, but that the party's human host claims to be a vampire. Nathan can't allow the attention caused by such a claim to continue.

Nathan runs into Rebecca Good, a woman who has strange and unwanted effects on him. To find out who she is, Nathan enlists the help of his good friend Terra. But when he finally faces Rebecca, he discovers not only that she's a witch but that she also knows the truth about vampires. Will he survive their encounter? And has his curiosity placed Terra in the path of danger?
