The Fledgling: A Novella

Book two in the award-winning Mind Sweeper series

Jean Luc Delacroix has lived for centuries as a vampire, but after his family was slaughtered, he locked his emotions away. Now he works with his demon partner, Misha, for the Bureau of Supernatural Relations. Their mission: keep humans from finding out about the supernatural. Not a simple thing to do with a supernatural serial killer on the loose, and a beautiful bounty hunter who keeps interfering with the investigation.

Talia Walker is a bounty hunter and a fledgling—a newly turned vampire. She has no idea what being a vampire truly means. Her job: find a murderer and bring him to justice. But she has never dealt with a supernatural criminal before . . . or an overbearing, ridiculously sexy vampire.

When Jean Luc and Talia butt heads over the investigation, only Misha can see that their animosity has more to do with attraction than anger. And unless Jean Luc and Talia can set aside their troubled pasts and learn to trust each other, they may never get to explore their true feelings. Especially when they come face-to-face with the killer.
