As they work to uncover a child trafficking ring leading all the way to Russia, John and Savannah allow themselves to find love and support in each other's arms. In doing so, they are forced to confront their mutual guilt and fear while fighting to rescue Savannah's daughter and the other girls who have fallen into the hands of an unscrupulous villain. But even if they can destroy the trafficking ring, and save the girls, will Savannah be strong enough to love John once he reveals that he is a vampire who craves her blood?
