Renegade Vampire

synopsis

Fierce hunger rages through the vampire belly while standing on the roof top in the quiet neighborhood scanning for food to calm the demanding thirst boiling through him. Anyone or anything would do. Movement across the narrow street caught his attention. A young woman wearing a black cop came out of house. “Yes,” he hissed. “Perfect.” 

Desperation forced vampire TALON TORRAN  out of retirement. With the offer of one hundred thousand dollars to track a cop killer who the cops suspect of being a renegade vampire he jumped at the chance of adding the reward to his almost non-existence bank account. Besides a lot of that moolah would be enough to pay off his hefty gambling debt and finally get the mafia off his back. And after the investigation was over he’d return to living his quiet life. 

DILLON McCAIN has had it with affairs. His most recent one proved that when his boyfriend left him for a high paying job in Italy. He’ll never waste his precious time forming a long-term relationship again and for what, for it to only end and shatter is heart? No way. Not worth the effort. Yet the moment he met his new partner, a rugged-looking detective he put his vow on hiatus – until he learned of his dark side. But with America’s new laws regarding racial purity nothing is worthy of getting caught in a relationship with a vampire, especially spending the rest of one’s life in an internment camp for catching any disease a vampire might have.

JUDE TORRAN, Talon’s younger brother, loathes the foul taste of synthetic blood which he and other vampires must consume daily if they wish to live peacefully among mortals. The only thing he likes about the Synthetic Blood Program is its protections from unscrupulous slayers who firmly believe that vampires deserve only one thing - - death.

MAX RAMOS, Dillon’s ex-partner suspects him and Talon of having an affair when he sees the being overly chummy. He’ll continue to keep an eye on them. If his hunch is right he’ll expose the two detectives. 

LE FEY TORRAN, the Torran brother’s uncle, who’d turned them into vampires back in1865, is now owner of the Blue Witch, a gay bar where mortals and vamps frequent. He’s surprised to discover Jude, one of his nephews, an employee.  He wonders if Jude is in this era his brother should also be around. When he and his nephew get into an argument which Jude winds up making threats to him Le Fey decides to wreak havoc on his life by killing cops and planting something of his nephew’s as evidence.

During their investigation Dillon and Talon find their bonding happens

rather fast. No matter how hard they try to stick to their vow to not become sexually involved the harder things get. Neither can keep their minds off one another. Both dream about having a sexual encounter with one another which seems so vivid Dillon actually believes he and Talon spent time making love. Now he hopes no one finds out. 

Talon is surprised his dream managed to enter his partner’s mind and uses his telepathic powers to make him forget. Now he needs someone to help him not to remember. Going to his brother’s house where he’s staying during his investigation he plans to ask Jude for help. Upon his arrival he’s shocked to discover an empty IV bag in the sink and other’s in a garbage bag. Now, he hopes Jude hasn’t gone on the deep end and stopped his involvement in the SB Program. He’d hate to see his sibling treated like an illegal alien and deported or worse – executed on the spot.

When another cop is killed Talon and his partner go to the crime. Someone has discovered evidence the killer left behind. Talon is stunned. He knows the owner of the evidence. If his brother stopped taking SB could hunting prey be part of its side effects? He won’t know until he conducts an interview with his sibling and he hopes he’s wrong about his quitting the SB Program.

Getting an officer down call Torran rushes to the Blue Witch. He’s shocked to discover Dillon has been bitten and his brother lying on the floor in pains as well as a pile of ashes. Even though he loves his brother his duty comes first. Hoping he has enough of synthetic blood in his symptom he feeds some of his to his partner. With luck Dillon will heal. Tending to his brother he learns their Uncle Le Fey attacked his partner. While trying to save Dillon he’d gotten attacked. Talon, able to save his brother from death knows of only one thing to do,  take them far from this oppressed country with hopes of their being able to live a peaceful life.
