“A hundred thousand to fight. Twice that, if you win.”
Walking up to Nick at the underground vampire fights, a well-dressed promoter hands Nick a card, offering him a bucketload of cash for a few hours’ work.
All he has to do is fight another vampire.
If Nick can pull it off, he might have a lead on a big new case. Someone in the boxing circuit is murdering vampires, selling their parts on the black market, dumping their desiccated bodies outside the city dome. The NYPD doesn’t have a clue who’s behind it, and the lead detective wants Nick to use his new “in” to get inside the exclusive fight community.
Of course, Nick’s new hybrid girlfriend, Wynter James, hates everything about this plan. Nick’s not even supposed to be there; he’s still officially suspended from his last big screw-up with the racial authorities. He decides to risk it anyway, and by the end of the first match, half the underground boxing community knows who he is.
Unfortunately, the vampire-harvesting crew has their eye on Nick, too.
As for Wynter, she’s convinced Nick has a death wish. At the very least, she suspects he’d do just about anything to avoid the intense, volcanic, vampire emotions that come up whenever they’re together.
