In midtown Manhattan, a former governor is abducted and viciously butchered, his throat slit. The crimes seem unrelated until maverick newspaper reporter Todd Paige, on a hot tip from ambitious NYPD lieutenant Sarah vanAllen, follows the trails of blood to a sleepy hamlet far upstate. For there, buried deep in the Adirondacks, lies the secret of the Wilderness, a hospital for the criminally insane.

Taylor was living an average life - until Butch the bully chased him on his bicycle close to the river and suddenly, the edge of the trail gave away, and both boys found themselves falling into a dark abyss. Moments later, they find themselves in a strange land - alone. They began to search for a way to return home, unaware of the dangers that await them.

There'd been several killings in Melville. Unusual killings, no witnesses, no clues, and no suspects. Sheriff Jim Bonner was having a time trying to narrow his search down. He had no idea where to look, or what he might be looking for. The murder was so gruesome, so unexpected, neither him nor his deputy, Smitty Younger, knew where to start looking. Whoever was doing this to his peaceful town was clever and covered his tracks. So Jim set about setting a trap for the villain.

Paul Rago is a Montana man entering retirement. As he flew to his daughter's wedding in Naples, Italy, his plane is hijacked over the Mediterranean.

As Brett Andrews, owner of the famous club On The Edge, reaches the big "four-O", he has one request and one question for his two vampire lovers, Leo and Lisa: he doesn't want them to organize any sort of celebration for him - but he does want to know why neither of them has ever mentioned the possibility of turning him into a vampire.

Vampires don't grow old; it doesn't stop Leo from dreading his birthday and the yearly disappointments it brings back. This year, though, with two lovers in his life, the day might just take a better turn. Lisa knows him well enough to guess what he doesn't even realize he needs, while Brett is ready to give – and ask for – the greatest gifts. All Leo needs to do is hang on and ride the wave when it comes.

One heated night brings together two men and a woman, one of them human and the other two vampires, but when morning comes there are more questions than answers. Brett, the human owner of the new club On the Edge, hires Leo as a bartender, but unexpected security issues threaten their burgeoning trust. For his part, Leo is caught in the same pattern that once caused him to lose Lisa, and he struggles to adapt and allow his new sleeping arrangements to last as long as possible.

A missing man and a heinous murder is just the beginning of the mayhem that plagues this pristine getaway. Frustrated with the lack of evidence, Sheriff Fred Rivera calls in a special unit. Officers Quincy, and Jameson along with their canine partner Sasha, joins the hunt for a vicious killer. More gruesome murders and added frustration, equals carelessness. Will law enforcement lose one of their own during the hunt? Can Sasha track down the killer before the ultimate price is paid

Brett Andrews thought he had it all. His new club, On the Edge, catering to vampires and humans, is a smashing success, and the beautiful vampire Lisa is everything he could have dreamed of. When an old lover of hers, Leo, shows up at the club, Brett's immediate fear is that he will lose Lisa. But if he just stops thinking long enough to follow Lisa's lead, he might gain a lover instead of losing one.

For Lisa, The Cliff was just one more bar to visit, one more competitor to gauge on her way to opening her own club. The verbal abuse unleashed on her by a patron is unexpected, but not entirely unusual: As a vampire, she has been called worse than "killer" or "thing" before. What is new, on the other hand, is the intervention of the bar's owner. Lisa isn't used to humans trying to protect her, and she finds Brett strangely endearing. For his part, Brett isn't all that comfortable being around a vampire, but now that he has thrown out the lout who was insulting Lisa, he can hardly ask her to leave. After getting to know her a little, however, he starts seeing the woman beyond the fangs, and when she returns the next night he's ready to share a dance with her…or even a little more….
