Part of the The Ambassador series:

River Carteret is a diplomat, known for crafting solutions between disparate groups.

Growing up on Earth under the control of the Guardians, he’d never experienced hardships, such as war, plague, or famine.

Urged by his Guardian supervisor, River volunteers to go to the planet Drakonis to broker an agreement between the Drakos, and the Draas. He is determined to bring equality to the Draas, wresting it from their ruling class, the Drakos, if necessary.

There is only one, small problem.

The Drakos are a sanguinary race, needing blood to survive, and River, with his rare hemoglobin, constitutes a banquet to the Drakos, a lethal hazard for him.

Mix in an angelically handsome vampire Prince, low oxygen levels, and food he can’t eat, and River has set himself up for a task that will cause him to use every skill he has to survive.

Will River become prey to the Drakos?

Or will he succeed, losing his heart along the way?

Summary:

Gunned down in the street, author Helmut Brandt’s life ebbs away and puts a chain of events in motion placing P.I. Marco Fontana on a collision course with Church and community.

Brandt’s research into the decades old death of Pope John Paul the First made him serious enemies within the Catholic Church. As Fontana digs into the case, he finds Brandt also had rivals in his work and in his love life. Rivals with motives for murder.

Dueling with the Catholic hierarchy and combing through seedy gay hangouts, Fontana encounters dangerous characters and powerful forces intent on stopping him.

When Fontana himself is attacked, he knows he must find answers before any more lives are lost. The web of intrigue and deceit is intricate, tangled, and deadly.

Will the solution uncover a decades old plot to kill a pope or will Fontana find that jealous rage or academic rivalry caused Brandt’s death? The only thing Fontana can be certain of is that Brandt's enemies have killed once and won't hesitate to murder a private eye who gets too close to the truth.

Fontana deftly balances his work as a P.I. with his position as owner of StripGuyz, a troupe of male strippers; he must also negotiate the intricacies of love and relationships which he has been avoiding all too long.

Along with Anton and Luke, Olga his secretary, a host of male strippers, and other denizens of his world, Fontana manages to navigate his way to a surprising conclusion.
