Synopsis: Kate Reilly has a hard time trusting people. Six years ago, the love of her life turned her over to the vampire parasites who call themselves the Thrall. Katie survives the powerful bite of the master parasite only to discover that the Thrall's venom, coupled with her own natural psychic ability, has transformed her. Now she is next in line to be the Thrall Queen▬and each day might be her last as a human. Tom, a handsome firefighter, arouses all of Katie's dormant senses, but her heart shies away. After Dylan's betrayal, how can she trust any man▬even a seemingly perfect and sexy werewolf? Tom's sincerity▬and sex appeal▬begins to wear down Katie's defenses. But his increasingly insistent charm hides a potentially deadly secret, and Katie is caught between protecting herself from the Thrall at any cost, and giving a man the power to hurt her. And if she makes the wrong choice.. she dies.
