Deirdre Griffin lives and works in Manhattan. For ten years, she has owned a successful clothing business, Griffin Designs. As a nonaging vampire, she knows it is time to think about moving on before people become suspicious of her eternal youth. But before that can happen, her life becomes incredibly complicated by several murders. Victims are found drained of blood, and all of them are acquaintances of Deirdre. One of the detectives sent to investigate the crimes is Mitch Greer. Soon convinced of her innocence, Mitch falls in love with Deirdre, and that love is returned. Many scenes throughout the series are devoted to their passionate lovemaking. Eventually the murders are solved, but this only leads to more complications, including Deirdre's discovery of the vampire who transformed her 150 years before plus an entire underground world of vampires. |
