Lachlan Ethelred Mackenzie looks like an ordinary sexy university professor, but for over a millennium, he's been one of a number of his kind trying to steer humanity towards the heavens. But humans are slow and stubborn. It's been a long slow journey since the spaceship from Vampyras experienced technical difficulty near Earth in 1006 and the Vampyrs had to abandon ship, and learn to survive on a planet filled with primitive beings. It's now 2061, and humanity is heading to Mars - perhaps now the Vampyrs can research space folding technology away from prying human eyes. Psychologist, Doctor Kate Maxwell is excited about going to Mars-except for one thing - she's terrified of the journey. A space accident when she was twelve has left her with PTSD and a fear of space travel. But when the handsome Professor, Lachlan Mackenzie becomes her cabin mate she finds herself falling for him all too easily. But why is he so reticent? He's cute, single and seems altogether perfect. Things are getting complicated for Lachlan. He's falling for the sexy red-headed psychologist, his long-lost daughter is on board the spaceship to Mars and she has no clue what or who he is and it seems that the leader of the Vampyr council is plotting something. Lachlan has too many secrets and too many problems. And Kate is the only thing he wants. Can he keep his hands and his fangs away from her? Does he want to? And what will happen if she discovers his secret? All hell is about to break loose. This book contains scenes of an adult nature.
