Blood Rush. Civilized Vampires, #2

I'm Detective Gregory Parsons, one of Houston PD's finest and a vampire. Well actually, half-vampire if you wanna get technical, but like most mixed-breed humans the vamp side is dominant. My human girlfriend Zaria does a good job of ignoring my vamp side when she complains about the injustices and inequality between the species. I just try to keep the peace at home and on Houston's streets. But now the North American leader of the Blood Martyr's has remembered my existence and wants me at his right hand.
The Martyrs are a cult that likes to preach about blood purity, whatever that's supposed to mean. I need to keep Zee safe no matter the cost to the city or me. She is everything, and I'll play along with the devil himself so long as no harm comes to her. Content warning: mentions of violence and past abuse.
