He's a scarred warrior sworn to guard her virtue. She's a headstrong hybrid running out of time to lose it. Jewish vampire Zane, a bodyguard fueled by a violent past and a burning thirst for vengeance, wants nothing to do with his new assignment: protecting Portia, a headstrong vampire-hybrid whose father is dead set on preserving her virginity. Zane's heart, scarred by the horrors of the Holocaust, beats only for revenge against his tormentors. Compassion is a weakness he long ago abandoned. But Portia has her own agenda. Time is running out. In a matter of weeks, her body will set into its permanent vampire form, sealing her fate as a virgin for eternity. To avoid this, she needs a lover, and fast-a desperate quest her overprotective father has hired Zane to prevent. The moment their paths cross, an undeniable, explosive attraction ignites, shattering Zane's rigid control and challenging Portia's desperate timeline. Their forbidden desire burns hotter than the hell of Zane's past, threatening to consume them both. Can they overcome their ingrained prejudices, trading hatred for love and vengeance for forgiveness, before Zane's demons from the past tear them apart forever? " I'm addicted to Tina Folsom's books! The Scanguards series is one of the hottest things to happen to vampire romance. If you love scorching, fast-paced reads, don't miss this thrilling series! " - Lara Adrian, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Midnight Breed series ABOUT THE SERIES The Scanguards Vampires series is full of fast-paced action, scorching love scenes, witty dialogue, and strong heroes and heroines. Vampire Samson Woodford lives in San Francisco and owns a security/bodyguard company, Scanguards, which employs both vampires and humans. And eventually some witches. Throw in a few immortal guardians and demons later in the series, and you'll get the drift! Each book can be read as a standalone and always centers around a new couple finding love, but the series is more enjoyable when read in order. And of course, there are always a few running jokes - you'll understand when you meet Wesley, a wannabe witch. Enjoy!
