Despite the illusion Sapphire Dubois presents to the rest of the world, she is not just your stereotypical 22-year old Beverly Hills heiress; she hunts serial killers. While her fellow heirs spend their nights with trending celebs and drugs at the hottest club, Sapphire secretly spends hers luring, capturing, and anonymously handing over So-Cal's most wanted killers to the police - just your average Tuesday night. What Sapphire doesn't know is that one of her adversaries is watching her every move, aware of both her true identity and her unconventional hobby. Needless to say, he doesn't approve. Used to being the one who redefines the definition of predator and prey, Sapphire's world abruptly shatters when a gruesome 'gift' arrives for her at the Beverly Hills Country Club. With her involuntary crush, handsome Detective Aston Ridder, close on her tail, Sapphire now has to rethink her routine strategy and figure out how to capture a killer who already knows she's coming.

Unbeknown to Nikki, her next delivery will offer her two choices; deliver the package and die or flee and be forever hunted by demons. On a routine delivery, Nikki meets a handsome stranger in the wrong part of town. After this brief encounter, she finds herself thrust into a bloodthirsty, apocalyptic war that has been raging, unseen, around mankind for centuries. Devoid of an escape route she must learn to survive with the help of her demon slaying Guardian, Josh, and his band of unearthly cohorts. However, Nikki soon finds herself plagued by doubt as her Guardian refuses to answer any of her questions. Discovering her ability to produce fire only makes the situation worse as she finds herself unable to quench the overwhelming fury that comes with it. Leaning on Josh for support, Nikki's attachment to him grows but so does her suspicion and resentment. Realising that Josh is the cause of her inability to control her deadly weapon Nikki is left with little choice but to leave him. Out on her own, she must confront her darkest fear, not the demons that hunt her but the ones within. Faced with this choice, Nikki must either accept who she is and join those who oppose Josh, or fight that which attempts to consume her and risk the lives of the man she loves and all who stand with him.

Lee's life was touched in many ways by bad things. Dark things. Shameful things. But, Lee always felt that it could have been worse. That there was always someone who had it worse. Rather than feel self-pity for what did happen, Lee generally felt relief for what did not. This kept Lee moving through her life. When she stumbled, fell to her knees, the mantra would repeat itself in her head, others have it worse. So, getting back up, Lee would start out again. Mostly with hope. Sometimes with just sheer determination. I'm just sitting down writing. There is no plan. This is why the first couple of chapters are short and not very involved. But, as you will see as you go along, I warm up to my subject. So, it does get more entertaining. You just have to be a little patient. I will eventually re-write the beginning, but don't skip it, because it sets up the rest of the book.
