"The exciting start to a vampire trilogy!"

No-nonsense librarian Erin Greenway doesn't buy into all of the ghostly mumbo-jumbo that the rest of the town of Pine Forest subscribes to. A newcomer to the area, she believes that there's a rational explanation for all of the eerie going-ons. But Erin may just have her mind changed by an intriguing Scottish visitor.

Lachlan Tavish has traveled to Pine Forest in pursuit of the vampire responsible for the deaths of his parents. Lachlan has been changed by his ordeal, which adds to his mystique. From the moment he meets Erin, he desires her as he has no other.

Who or what is attacking the women of Pine Forest? Will Lachlan be able to save Erin from this menace by himself? How will Erin react when she learns the truth about Lachlan?

Lachlan and Erin burn up the sheets together. Fight it though she might, Erin cannot deny that there's something about Lachlan that draws her to him again and again. But will she give her heart to him without knowing the entire truth first?

DEEP IS THE NIGHT: DARK FIRE is the first story in this vampire trilogy. Readers will be eagerly awaiting the next installment to see what happens next. If you've never tried a book by Ms. Agnew, this may be a good book to start off with.
