First in the Sentinel series.

Marie Antoinette has seen it all. Lived it all. Now happy with her life, she has nevertheless earned the shadows in her eyes. As leader of the Vampyr Council, she has plenty to do. Her two human servants, Brian and Matt, meet her basic needs, even when they irritate her.

Every need except one—she hasn't had sex in decades.

Then something evil moves into her region, preying on humans and immortals alike. In her search for help, an old human friend introduces Maria to his son.

Justin's life hasn't been easy and he's not looking for a long-term relationship. His final military assignment took all the life out of him. His father has the perfect solution—introduce him to the only person he knows with that same faraway look in her eyes. Intrigued with Maria, Justin is amazed to find this very older woman is his perfect match. As it turns out, he can't live without her—literally.

Throw in an old boyfriend with a chip on his shoulder, a monster they can't kill and a few rogue werewolves and, well…life has never been so complicated. Or exciting.
