But everything changed dramatically when he and several other warriors were ordered to train social workers in self-defense so that they could survive alongside vampires in the new world. Duncan never thought he could fall in love with a human woman, but he did. He was trained to be a ruthless commander, but now all his thoughts are aimed only at finding the woman he loved and let go.
