For Russell Hankelburg, the end is almost at hand. He has spent the past two years tracking down Master Han in a quest for revenge. Han took away Russell's humanity and left him in a coma for thirty-nine years. In the process, Russell lost his family and his ranch. Working alone he intends to take Han down but as he prepares to make his move, someone ruins his best chance for the kill. It appears to be a woman that has stepped in and is performing an attack of her own. Russell sets out to rescue her from Han's super soldiers and learns that she is a tiger-shifter princess with a similar agenda to his own and an ability to wreck havoc on his heart.

Jia is on a mission and if anyone stands in her way, they must be removed. Nothing must stop her from killing Master Han because it was Han that killed her family. While she is a princess and a tiger-shifter, she has learned all she can about martial arts and knife throwing. Still, thirteen years of practice has not prepared her for the task ahead. When she meets Russell, she doesn't know what to make of the vampire that rescued her. She has a short amount of time to carry out her plan but her mind seems to be on her rescuer rather than the task at hand.
