On January third, the Network has learned, the sacrifice of three new female hybrids who share a rare blood type will allow the trapped demonic spirits to reenter the world, hellbent on destruction.To prevent the three Immaculates from becoming overwhelmed by lust and attraction, Cody has paired them up so that each Immaculate will guard the woman least likely to be found attractive by him. Luke gets Crystal, who arranges bachelorette parties with nude male strippers. She would be the blood in the ritual. For Sy, it's martial arts teacher Shirley, the body of the ritual; and for Cody, British society queen Joanna, the ritual's soul.

Life often has a way of turning the best-made plans upside down and in Cryptic Trysts there are no exceptions. Partnering the three purebred vampires with the three potentially hybrid women that they would never in their right minds find attractive, naturally reverses itself. Trouble inevitably piles upon trouble and the six find themselves deep in the midst of it, battling each other and battling ancient renegade vampires determined to escape their spiritual imprisonment in limbo and return to rule the world. Readers looking for hot, sexy, vampire hunks and beautiful, independent heroines who know their own minds will find all that right here in Ancient Blood: Cryptic Trysts from Kate Hill.
