In this steamy, moody romance, Rogue and Gambit race to save New Orleans’ soul from vampires and greed incarnate—if their own checkered pasts and touch-starved yearning for each other don’t destroy them first. She can’t touch him. He can’t stay away. Rogue is a hero. But when her bare touch can steal someone’s memories, their powers, even their life—she feels monstrous. Yet no part of her feels more dangerous than the part that wants. Remy is a born thief. Even if he’s turned a new leaf as Gambit, when he sees Rogue’s walls, he wants to slip behind them. If she only trusted herself the way he does, he’d gladly lay every bit of his power at her feet. When Remy has a sinking feeling that New Orleans needs him, it’s time to finally go home. He’s just afraid of how much has changed; how much he has changed. What if returning as some big-league hero isn’t what his friends and family need? But he’s not alone—Rogue is at his side. As their easy friendship simmers with temptation, can they gamble with getting closer? And there’s no time to waste. In the wake of a devastating hurricane, bloodsuckers are lapping at the wounds of New Orleans, buying up the city in pieces and unleashing a threat even older than corporate greed: vampires. As Rogue and Remy uncover the sinister plot threatening the lifeblood of his hometown, they’ll unearth their own issues they can’t keep running from. It’s easy to be the hero, but it can be much harder to let yourself be saved. For two people who could destroy everything they touch, love is a dangerous thing.
