What a neat story! Roman Draganesti is the head of a major world-reknowned corporation famous for inventing a formula for synthetic blood. He's also a 400+ year old vampire...a vampire that's just lost one of his fangs from biting into something he shouldn't have, and he has only hours to spare to get his fang re-implanted again, else the hole will seal up leaving him a snaggle-toothed vampire for the rest of eternity...and it's midnight. Whatever will he do?

Shanna Whelan is having a bad time of it too. A recent witness to a horrific mob murder, she's a dentist who's been hiding via the federal witness protection program. Unfortunately, witnessing the murder left her squeemish around blood...not good for someone who must be exposed to blood regularly in order to do her job. So she's lucked up and found employment at an after-hours dental practice where she rarely sees a patient, let alone the red stuff.

On this particular night, the mob has found her with the help of a rogue vampire...and so has Roman...at the same time. Needing her to reimplant his tooth, he sweeps her away from her bullet-ridden office and offers her his protection in exchange for her services.

But somewhere along the way, the pair fall in love and must overcome their differences in order to be together. Towards the end, they marry, and Roman is trying to figure out a way for them to have a baby, as vampires are sterile. I hope this author writes a sequel, because I'd love to see how this story turns out.
