Dark Surf

By T.C. Zmak

They said it was a shark. She thinks it was foul play. What if it was both?

San Diego, California. Surfer Jake Ryder mourns when his closest buddy is killed by a great white. Unable to accept it was a simple animal attack, he searches for the last person to have seen his friend alive. But his quest turns terrifying when he uncovers an entrancing ring of board-riding vampires.

Special Agent Lani Marley knows a connection when she sees one. And she's convinced the surf gang known as the Nomads are tied to a string of disappearances all along the west coast. So when her superiors refuse to sanction an undercover investigation, she acts on her own by calling on her childhood as a pro wave rider to infiltrate the enigmatic group.

Teaming up to get to the bottom of their mutual mystery, Jake and Lani join the Nomads only to find themselves seduced by the vampires' hypnotic charisma. And as more bodies wash up on shore, their individual relationships with their nocturnal hosts could land them in bloody water.

Can Jake and Lani solve the seaside murders before they're deep-sixed by the brutal undead?

Dark Surf is the first book in the thrilling Dark Surf paranormal vampire romance series. If you like fast-paced action, dangerous love triangles, and dramatic twists and turns, then you'll devour T.C. Zmak's suspenseful tale.
