Whose: Mark & Lauren
Age Range: adult

                Synopsis
When a fortune-teller shows bridesmaid Lauren Crow an omen of her gruesome death, she and her friends laugh it off as cheesy theatrics – until woman begin disappearing in the night.
     
As the streets become risky, Lauren finds herself lusting after a man who is dangerous, and quite possibly crazy. Mark Davidson prowls the city by night armed with crosses and holy water in search of vampires, who he insists are real. He is as irresistibly drawn to Lauren as she is to him, and not only because she’s the image of his murdered fiancĂ©e. But Mark’s frightening obsession with finding his lover’s killer merely hides a bitter vendetta that cuts deeper than grief over a lost love.
     
As Lauren wrestles with desire and disbelief, sinister shadows lengthen over New Orleans, threatening her friends and foretelling a battle that may spell the end of the city’s uneasy truce between the living and the undead.
