Patrick's Seduction. Scanguards Vampires, #19

During his parents' temporary absence, vampire hybrid Patrick Woodford finds himself thrust into command of Scanguards. His leadership is immediately tested by a brutal murder in the Presidio, an investigation that initially indicates a vampire attack but quickly hints at a far more sinister, preternatural threat. When Dr. Fallon Doyle asks Scanguards for protection from her obsessive ex-boyfriend, Patrick is hesitant to take her case, but after a terrifying attack on Fallon, he realizes her stalker is far more menacing than he appears.
As Patrick races against the clock to solve the gruesome murder and shield Fallon from the escalating danger, an undeniable attraction sparks between them. But the stakes are higher than either could have imagined. Fallon is in grave peril, a danger far beyond any initial prediction. Can they unearth the truth and fight the encroaching darkness, or will their chance at a future together be extinguished before it even begins?Scanguards VampiresBook 1: Samson's Lovely MortalBook 2: Amaury's HellionBook 3: Gabriel's MateBook 4: Yvette's HavenBook 5: Zane's RedemptionBook 6: Quinn's Undying RoseBook 7: Oliver's HungerBook 8: Thomas's ChoiceBook 8 1/2: Silent Bite (A Scanguards Wedding Novella)Book 9: Cain's IdentityBook 10: Luther's ReturnNovella: Mortal WishBook 11: Blake's PursuitNovella 11 1/2: Fateful ReunionBook 12: John's YearningBook 13: Ryder's Storm (Scanguards Hybrids #1)Book 14: Damian's Conquest (Scanguards Hybrids #2)Book 15: Grayson's Challenge (Scanguards Hybrids #3)Book 16: Isabelle's Forbidden Love (Scanguards Hybrids #4)Book 17: Cooper's Passion (Scanguards Hybrids #5)Book 18: Vanessa's Bravery (Scanguards Hybrids #6)Book 19: Patrick's Seduction (Scanguards Hybrids #7)
