Her mother named her Esperanza Salvación - Hope for Salvation. But when a girl works as an escort for Colombian cartel in the ghettos of Spanish Harlem, there wasn’t much hope, or salvation.

Hope’s telepathic ability keeps her a step ahead of ruin, but her unusual gift attracts the attention of a psychotic vampire bitch. Trapped in a Manhattan penthouse with the psycho, she thought she was dead meat.

Her survival lies in the hands of Vampire Master Enrique. He seems to respect her, perhaps even care. As a measure of protection, he makes her his personal Bloodslave. Helplessly addicted to his bite, Enrique rules her every moment. As always, Hope must adapt to survive.

Swept into the decadent nightlife of Manhattan's elite, she falls in love with Enrique and prays someday he may grow to love her, too. But is it simply a relationship of convenience? Is she nothing more than a concubine desperate to satisfy his nightly demands for blood and sex?

And forever in the background is the fear that one day the cartel boss she abandoned will hunt her down to collect on old debts.

OMG okay this world that Travis has created for use to explore is dark gritty and dirty and oh so much fun to travel to. I loved this book as much as I did the 3 books that are the Nightlife Series with Aaron and Michelle. Though this one is with hope we still get all the hot sex scenes that will leave even the saints all hot and bothered. Put into prostitution at a young age living with the cartel boss Hope soon encounters Lia and her world is transformed from prostitution to bloodslave and fighting for her life. What will become of Hope.
