Moonwish

Vampire Creed Lowell's life was altered fifty years ago at the hands of an ancient being known only as The Source, right before rogue members of the cult he belonged to destroyed their way of life. Just as Creed discovers the identity of the responsible party for that terrible tragedy, temptation is placed in his path in the form of grad student Roman San Angelo, a stubborn, proud, infuriating man who's everything Creed ever wanted in a partner. When Creed's past catches up to them, Roman is snatched from his grasp and Creed is forced into hiding, saddled with the care of his former mentor. He's the only one strong enough to heal them and prevent a catastrophic event, though his rage builds the longer he's kept from his love.

When Roman's safety is threatened once more, the two are finally reunited, and Creed is devastated to see the physical effects of Roman's run-in with The Source. He wants nothing more than to secret Roman away and share whatever time they have left on this Earth in peace. But once again, Creed is forced to sacrifice everything when an old enemy sets their sights on his unique genetic makeup and skills.

This time, it's Creed who's taken, and Roman will do whatever it takes to rescue him, even if it means trusting the being that nearly ended his life. With the help of Roman's long-suffering uncle, a determined FBI agent, and a mysterious benefactor with a multitude of resources at his disposal, they'll need to bring down a shadowy financial powerhouse and put an end to their villainy before it's too late for Creed to have a life with his beloved.

Moonwish is a continuation of the events in Sundowners and the books should be read in order. The events of this story are resolved by the end, but Roman and Creed will continue to work towards a resolution of the series' story arc in future books.
