Vanessa's Bravery. Scanguards Vampires, #18

When Vanessa Giles, Scanguards' tenacious community outreach manager, saves a sex worker from a rogue vampire's fangs, she's plunged into a dangerous new reality. Her path collides with the enigmatic Cole Whitlock, a human internet entrepreneur drawn to San Francisco by a secret, debilitating ailment. He's inexplicably pulled to Vanessa, even as he mistakenly believes her to be a high-class escort.
Vanessa, a vampire hybrid herself, desperately wants Cole close, yet she must conceal her true nature from him. Their delicate dance of attraction turns deadly when a rogue vampire begins transforming unstable young men into bloodthirsty creatures, unleashing them upon an unsuspecting city. Scanguards mobilizes, battling to protect San Francisco and uncover the rogue's chilling motives. As the city teeters on the brink, Vanessa faces an impossible choice: risk revealing her vampiric identity to protect Cole from becoming the next victim, or watch him fall prey to the growing darkness.
Will he recoil from the truth, or will their burgeoning love be strong enough to overcome the terrifying secrets that divide them?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 BiteBook 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 StormBook 14: Damian's ConquestBook 15: Grayson's ChallengeBook 16: Isabelle's Forbidden LoveBook 17: Cooper's PassionBook 18: Vanessa's BraveryBook 19: Patrick's Seduction
