The Guardian's Embrace

A child is still missing. Chaos between two old friends erupts. Elders, bloodmates, and vampires are being murdered in mass attacks by mutated breeds. Only three guardians and one elder remain. Dimitri de Fiammetta, a guardian, knows no other way to live. He's fought and killed to protect his race. While duty to the race comes first and protecting the last Elder and the prophet. Claudia Wyborn, a bloodmate, meets Dimitri and is fascinated by him, awakening a childhood fantasy of being swept away by her vampire, a Guardian. Will one mission and Dimitri's reluctance to share his dark past with innocent Claudia destroy what their body and minds tell them should be? Or will a simple thing as love be enough to take away the dark stain that Dimitri has carried for so long?
