About this audiobook

He came to a Queens loading dock to die quietly. She asked him what he needed instead of calling security. Renata Salas works nights in a hospital blood bank, keeping the city's dying alive one cold unit at a time — until a starving man with no reflection folds against her dock and the old brass tag at her throat begins to warm. Mateo Cruz was a paramedic once. Now he's a leaderless vampire who would rather burn than hurt anyone again. But something ancient is waking beneath an island of nameless dead, and it has been steering him toward Ren from the start — because her blood can open a door that has stayed shut for a hundred years. To keep the city sleeping, a blood-bank tech and the coldest thing in it must cross a river she was warned never to cross, and decide what they're willing to become for each other. A steamy, standalone paranormal romance in The Cold City series. For adult readers.
