Cruach

Cruach is a vampire, six-four, and the sergeant-at-arms of the Iron Veins, a club that runs shine and blood between Reno and the coast. He hasn't been soft for anyone in eighty years. Then he walks into Lila Crane's garage to collect a debt. Lila is broke, raising her dead sister's kid, and three weeks from losing everything. So she makes a deal with the monster: she fixes the club's bikes, he pays in cash. And then she makes a second deal. Her blood. Twice a week. On tap. She says yes because she has no choice. She keeps saying yes because he keeps coming back. When a rival club firebombs the garage, Cruach makes a choice for her she never agreed to. Lila wakes up furious, fanged, and faster than him. The highway war is coming. And this time, she's not the one running.
