Taste the Dark - Boston After Dark, #2

When something's worth dying for, one taste is never enough. After a lost soul crosses over, a vampire prince becomes the mentor he needs-and the lover he's always craved. Half-human and half-vampire, Akito James just wants to be a hero. But after taking a little initiative in the fight against a dangerous coven, he's banished for his troubles-and not even his best friends will stand up for him. Tormented by the voices in his head, Akito throws himself into Boston's Charles River.
He awakens to a solitary vigil held by a specter only he can see: a tall, dark, and leather-clad vampire who gives Akito a warm welcome to the shadow realm. In a city this old, even the dead must be careful at night. No one knows that better than Lyandros Dragoumanos, brother of the War King, doomed to wander the streets of Boston unseen, unheard, and alone-until a spark passes between him and a troubled stranger with shimmering eyes and inky black hair.
After witnessing the young man's suicide, Lyandros seizes a tantalizing opportunity. Akito may just hold the key to his salvation-and his touch promises untold pleasures.
