Summary from Goodreads:In the town of Belle Ridge there are doctors, lawyers and teachers... but there is only one vampire. Will Leighton has become an expert in making a life for himself amongst the unsuspecting small-town inhabitants, as the high school history teacher. He has spent hundreds of years crafting an identity and routine that make him feel almost human, but he is always missing that important final element, love.

Ashton Wallace is beautiful, smart, and angry. She was forced into an eternal existence, and now her family has moved her away from everything and everyone she knows. In Belle Ridge she is supposed to finish high school and start her life again, but how do you make plans for the next several centuries?

Will has never met another of his kind, and is immediately intrigued by Ashton. He longs to show her that the perceived vampire lifestyle, so popular in storybooks, is far from reality...but will she let him be a friend and guide in this new existence? Can Ashton accept Will into her life, or will she be led astray by a dark stranger with whom she shares an unknown connection?

“Did they catch him? I don't remember his name, but I know what he looked like. I can tell the police.” Ashton wanted to make sure that guy, whoever he was, paid for what he had done.Her parents exchanged troubled looks with one another.
“What's wrong? Is he saying it's my fault?” She looked from her mother to her father.
“He was found dead,” her father said with a grim face. Ashton couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Just then, two police officers came into the room. She told them everything about the party, the drink, being pulled into the woods, and about the second man.
“A second man was there?” the officer asked.“Yes, I couldn’t see him clearly, it was so dark and I was feeling so confused, but there was definitely a second man. He pulled the attacker off of me, and I could hear them struggling, and someone screamed. Then, he came to me and told me everything would be all right. That's the last thing I remember.” Ashton was exhausted. The previous night felt like some horrible dream.
The officers turned toward the door, like they were about to leave. Just as they were crossing into the hall, one of the officers turned and came back into the room.
“Miss, about the second man, is he the one who did this to you?” The officer motioned toward Ashton's neck. She lifted her hand and felt a large, thick bandage on her throat. When she pressed it, she winced in pain.
“I don't remember. I don't remember at all.” She felt a wave of panic. She had been injured in a gruesome manner, but she didn’t have any recollection of how it had happened. Even more unsettling was a strange sensation traveling through her body. Ashton realized something within her was different, something she couldn’t quite put her finger on.
The officers left, and Ashton asked her mother for a mirror. Reluctantly, Elaine Wallace retrieved the one in her purse, and handed it to her daughter.
Ashton opened the mirror and looked at herself. Remarkably, the horror of the night before didn’t seem to have left a mark on her face. Actually, she looked somewhat refreshed. She moved her hand to the bandage and began to remove it. When it fell away, she held the mirror up again and saw what the officers had asked her about.
On her neck were two large holes.
