As one of only three vampires living in Harmony Ridge, Tennessee, Leslie is happily single. She’s never given much thought to the matchmaking test she took in college—or to Ryker, the young man it deemed her perfectmatch. Now he’s here, asking her out?With the betrayal of a toxic ex in his past, Ryker Maddox is determined to make better choices this time around. He reminds Leslie of the matchmaking test’s if the members of a matched pair are not romantically attached by the time they’re thirty, they should trust the test results and give a relationship with each other a chance.Intrigued by his boldness, Leslie lets him take her to dinner. Ryker makes her feel seen, not only as a woman and an artist, but also as a vampire—something she’s never experienced before. Soon she wonders if there might have been something to that test after all.From their first date, Ryker is drawn to Leslie. Her contentment both challenges and quiets his striving heart. Soon she has him believing he might truly be worth more than the sum of his achievements.Her life is in Tennessee. His is in Virginia. Yet distance isn’t the only obstacle threatening to keep them apart.The more time Ryker and Leslie spend together, the more they realize just how different two vampires can be. He’s never spent more than a few hours in a small town; she’s never lived anywhere else. He has lived his whole life immersed in vampire culture; her knowledge about their kind has always been limited to what her mysteriously reluctant parents—the only other vampires in Harmony Ridge—were willing to share. If love can bridge all differences, Ryker and Leslie need an extra strong bridge…especially when his ex shows up wielding threats. less
