To Dance with the Devil — Cat Adams

Bodyguard and security specialist Celia Graves has a firm grasp of her inner vampire. The magical ring she was given while acting as bodyguard to a siren princess has given her telepathy a boost, and she's got clients practically beating a path to her door.

She can even afford to turn clown a client once in a while ... though that doesn't keep her from being kidnapped by a powerful mage out for revenge. Stripped and left to burn on a beach, Celia discovers that her inner vampire has just been biding its time.

Trapped in the middle of a generations-old feud between two powerful clans of magic-workers, Celia has few options. She'll have to call in more than one favor -- anti risk the lives of her closest friends -- to save a young woman, and most of Southern California, from a terrible fate.
