MIA #2: Shameful

After six years of exile Shamus Long returns to track down the vampires responsible for murdering his family. Upon his arrival, a snowstorm postpones his attack, forcing him to seek refuge in a motel where shy, loner Gail works the night shift. Instant chemistry and a power outage throw them into one anothers arms. Then Shame's friend Ty disappears, and he is forced to involve Gail in his quest. But Gail has secrets of her own, strong enough to rock the very foundation of his beliefs and threaten not only his bruised heart, but his very life.
