Nothing's hotter than desire after dark...
Cara Maloan doesn't look like a monster. In fact, the gorgeous blond nightclub singer possesses heavenly attributes that make Atlanta detective Todd Brooks sure there's a higher power somewhere. But a twisted killer is leaving a trail of bodies in seedy hotel rooms across town. The male victims show no wounds-it's as if the life was simply drained from them. And right now, mysterious Cara is Todd's only suspect.
Cara knows it's foolish to be so drawn to a man who thinks she's a murderer. She also knows Detective Brooks would find the truth even harder to swallow. Cara is one of the Others, a race of powerful, paranormal creatures who live among humans. Cara's particular abilities make men putty in her hands-all except this rugged, sexy-as-hell detective. But now someone, or something, has singled Cara out for serious payback...
As uneasy trust gives way to mind-blowing desire, Cara and Todd will go head-to-head with a killer whose mission is deeply personal, and who's determined to serve up revenge that's hotter than hellfire, and just as deadly...

Cara is a succubus - that's a female sex demon to be precise. She NEEDS sex energy to live much like vampires need blood, but she's so very tired of only taking so she currently works in an Other night club in Atlanta, feeding from the humans 'playing' there as she sings. Then a series of murders take place that put Cara in the spotlight. And as soon as she lays eyes on handsome Detective Todd Brooks, Cara is hard-pressed to stick to her 'no-sex' vow.
Todd can't believe how attracted he is...to a possible serial killer no less. As soon as Cara's cleared of the crimes, he hotfoots it to the club in an effort to mitigate the hardline he took when Cara was a suspect. But this killer keeps trying to throw suspicion on Cara, and when Todd discovers the killer is a sex demon, will he still believe in her innocence?
Yes, this plot's been done before, but never in quite this way. There's a selection of possible suspects, a red herring or two, and a veritable smorgasbord of sex too. I enjoyed it and now I've got to go look in my stacks of 'to be read' books to see if I can find more by this author in this world! (
