Diamonds may be a collector's best friend, but for Dante Rocco, a courier for precious stones and metals, the next delivery could mean death.
Someone is robbing and killing couriers of precious gems and metals in Europe. Global Diamond Couriers in New Orleans assigns their human Italian, Dante, to make a major delivery in Venice. Although pickpocketing is the usual crime there, a wary Alexandros, Dante's vampire lover, insists he and Malcolm, the other staff immortal, go along as bodyguards.
In Rome, they board the Orient Express to Venice, and Malcolm is welcomed by Nick, a human steward whom he'd met years earlier. The hot, younger man seduces him into a whirlwind romance. But when Nick appears unannounced in their secret Venetian hotel, he's sucked into a maelstrom of danger and deceit none of them may survive.
