mpire Rob, one lifetime isn't enough, and the road from human to vampire is shorter than you think... On a rainy February night, cool butch vampire Rob Perdoni is bowled over by Rani Shah and immediately wants to date her. Rani is tough and gorgeous, just the sort of woman Rob likes. Trouble is, she's human. Rani, on the other hand, doesn't believe vampires exist. But before she can say, "Bite me," she's taking a roller-coaster ride from femme on the streets to vampire between the sheets. But it's not all mysterious counts and moonlit balls. Lurking in the shadows of Rob's vampire world is someone with a grudge. Someone with a very nasty grudge indeed... Queerer and more hedonistic than the human world, Rani is out of her depth in the vampire world, and up to her pretty neck in secrets and intrigue. When magnetism meets mystique, the road from human to vampire is shorter than you think.
