Prologue

The hair on the back of his neck stood on end. Sam Cassidy flicked back the corner

of the curtain ever so slightly and peered out into the evening gloom descending on the

city of New Orleans. He scanned the street but could see nothing. Nonetheless, he knew

someone was out there watching the house. He’d been a cop for too long to discount his

instincts.

“What’s wrong?”

Cassidy didn’t jump or flinch. He was getting used to the other inhabitants of this

house taking him unawares. It didn’t bother him anymore. After all, they were all

vampires and therefore had abilities beyond mere mortals. He chuckled to himself as he

let the end of the curtain drop back into place and turned away from the window.

“Something amuses you?” The corner of Lucian’s mouth turned upward.

Cassidy shook his head. “I just find it damn strange at times that I’m working for a

been friends with them for several years but had only taken the job as head of their

security two weeks ago.

Lucian focused his attention out the window and Cassidy knew he was using his

exceptional psychic powers to scan the area. “I sense only normal activity.”

“Doesn’t matter.” Cassidy strode to another window and checked the street. It was

early October and, with the night closing in quicker, it was impossible for him to see

much of anything. “Someone is watching.”

Lucian stepped away from the window. “If you say that someone is watching us,

then I believe you. But there is always someone watching us. That is one of the

problems of being rich.” Dismissing whoever was outside on the street, Lucian picked

up his glass and strode toward the door. “Delight and I are taking her brother out for
