Vampires full of tragic pasts and dark secrets are delicious.
Lavina feeds off the memories of others, the more traumatic the better, but once she's fed, they're fixed: looking for redemption, good...so very vanilla. Lavina craves triple dark chocolate.
Stephanos is called to America to help his sire take over the blood-rich city of Northchester. The job, like all the others before it, is simple: kill the target, cause a little chaos, and enforce compliance with the new regime. Then he can go back home and not deal with his sire's demands for a decade or two.
When a strange woman interrupts his killing spree, all of his plans go to hell. His sire is pissed, the target isn't thankful, and everyone in Northchester is looking for him. Lavina has a safe place to hide the wanted vampire and a plan to make him last. Unfortunately, she's never been good at sticking to diets.
