To save the President, Vaihan must trust the
woman who betrayed him.
Vaihan Louchian, Ancient Zombie and Special Advisor to the President, dabbles in contracts for Homeland Security in Washington DC, the only remaining demilitarized zone. His latest mission: to seduce delectable Leera Waltz so he can take down her boyfriend Rowley, leader of the anti-zombie terrorist movement. Vaihan and the President work the Bill of Undead Rights through the Senate, but terrorist attacks rise. The futures of the living and undead are in jeopardy, and Ms. Waltz is not all she seems. Vaihan canÆt help being more interested in rescuing her than in his assignment. Any human female who's willing to put up with the complications of lovemaking with him and his bouts of OCD is worth the hassle.
Vaihan is powerful, intelligent and kind. So not what Leera expected of an undead. When she's forced to betray Vaihan, she knows he will never understand. She must return to Rowley, and slips deeper into the city's dark underworld. Then Vaihan's suspected in an assassination attempt against the President, and Leera has to find the courage to do what's right and save him, or lose not only Vaihan and the leader of the free world, but her heart and soul.

Book Description
I was given this copy by publisher for review, but as always on
the basis that my opinion is honestly held, and whether paid for or free my
views are not influenced by that. Integrity is important to me and gushing
false reviews do neither author nor reader any favours. As always my views are
what I honestly feel about this book.
WARNING: Questionable sexual
situations that will disturb some readers, such as abuse, bondage and drug use.
Graphic violence and sex, including taboo play. M/F. M/F/M. M/M.
This book is in the paranormal/erotic romance genre and fits
well within that description. Vaihan
Louchian, Ancient Zombie and Special Advisor to the President, dabbles in
contracts for Homeland Security. He is given a mission to save the president by
seducing widow Leera Waltz so he can take down her boyfriend Rowley, leader of
the anti-zombie terrorist movement. Vaihan and the President work the Bill of
Undead Rights through the Senate, but terrorist attacks rise. Leera is also on
a mission though and hers include seducing Vaihan and Rowley to save her
brother. But both Vaihan and Leera didn't plan on forming feelings for each
other.
If you like thrillers such as those written by John Grisham where there is lots of plotting, double dealing and action you'll enjoy this book – it’s like that but with undead – zombies and Vaihan is one sexy Zombie. I enjoyed the touches of humour that lightened some of the darker moments and there were plenty of those. What I didn't like was that I found Leera difficult to warm to – I know she was being blackmailed and grieving for her husband but her actions were odd at times and I wanted to shake her and say get a grip woman. She seemed to flip from sex with one person to another without any real emotion except for one time when she was forced/persuaded to do something she wasn't happy about. I struggled with the double dealing getting confused who was on whose side – that’s a fault of mine and not the author but meant much of the nuances of the book probably passed me by. The warning given in the description is well placed – some scenes are pretty graphic and also the food the zombies need to consume can be a bit gruesome to read even if nicely dressed with spices and organ “jus”.....

I wasn't happy about the ending – it came quite abruptly and I
was expecting more – I guess that’s been left for a sequel and while I love
books written as a series I do like each book to finish properly. The editing
was well done, pretty much error free and good value for money at $5.99 for 320
pages.
Stars: 3.5 as sadly for me I didn't really take to this book but
that’s because its not really my style, as I got really lost in all the double
dealing plots and had to keep checking who was doing what and why – spoils the
fun but if you love this type of thing and the addition of the paranormal
influence you'll rate it higher.
