Bleeding Hearts: Book One of the Demimonde (Demimonde #1)

"A meet-cute at an Egyptian antiquities exhibit draws self-confessed bleeding-heart advice columnist Sophie Galen into the orbit of Marek Thurzo, a moody mystery man with "Paul Newman lips" and an intense interest in Sophie from the moment they meet. In short order, Marek introduces Sophie to a secret underworld of vampires, werewolves, and demivampires--his own kind, vampire precursors who can still walk in daylight and have not yet lost their souls. Sophie herself has a destiny among "the DV," as she learns to her considerable peril." - Publishers Weekly
