  He’s accused of a crime he didn’t commit and she’s determined to get him off… in more ways than
  one.
  The vamp life sure as hell ain’t the glam life. Just ask Alena Falkov. One day she’ll be a full-fledged

  scent of her Beloved—her one true soul mate—in the hallways of the courthouse, no one could blame
  her for tracking him down. Now if only he wasn't the defendant... and by all accounts, guilty. Or is he?
