I accidentally read these out of order, but it turned out not to be a problem.  This is the third in the series, but can and was read out of order or stand alone.This is exactly how a novella should be is what I thought as this one leaped into the action revealing what is really going on a little at a time so that as you turn each plot corner a new and delightful surprise awaits.The story begins with a vampire, Paige, coming to the dangerous lair of the werewolves' alpha, Drake to speak to him about a proposition.  It has been over ten years since the last time Paige has seen Drake.  Last time she was human and this time she is a vampire- the same race that killed his family. Drake had loved her and she him, but all he knew was that she left him waiting by the lake waiting for her.No sooner than she is escorted in to talk to him and make her proposal- that he kill Gabe another vampire for her- which he accepts on one condition because he is still attracted to her and wants her, but the walled estate is attacked by vamps.  The wolves think she set them up.  Can she convince Drake that she came for an entirely different purpose?  Will he think from his heart or out of vengeance?The plot was necessarily fast moving and gets to the point quickly with such a low word count, but what there was did not waste around with anything unnecessary nor did it leave anything important out.  There is steamy romance, action, intrigue and betrayal.  Good stuff!The characters are not real deep, but they are not just two dimensional.  Paige and Drake had such sad pasts that you really cheer them on to have this chance now and to really stick it to the villain.I really enjoyed the story and I plan to go back and read the other two along with more of Ms. Eden's work.
