Sleight of Hand — Lauren Dane

Vampire king, Xander Stryker has found his match in human bar owner, Lissette Norris. Between the two there's enough chemistry to melt plastic. But there's trouble in the form of Graciella Stryker, Xander's mother. She's mad as hell after finding out what a faithless jerk Xander's father was and she will stop Xander's half brother from entering into their tribe at all costs, including murder. Trouble is, the boy has come to stay with Lissie and all hell has broken loose. Lissie has had it with Xander's mother's murderous impulses and Xander's soft hearted stance toward her. There's a new queen in town and she's taking no prisoners.
