As Brett Andrews, owner of the famous club On The Edge, reaches the big "four-O", he has one request and one question for his two vampire lovers, Leo and Lisa: he doesn't want them to organize any sort of celebration for him - but he does want to know why neither of them has ever mentioned the possibility of turning him into a vampire.

One heated night brings together two men and a woman, one of them human and the other two vampires, but when morning comes there are more questions than answers. Brett, the human owner of the new club On the Edge, hires Leo as a bartender, but unexpected security issues threaten their burgeoning trust. For his part, Leo is caught in the same pattern that once caused him to lose Lisa, and he struggles to adapt and allow his new sleeping arrangements to last as long as possible.

For Lisa, The Cliff was just one more bar to visit, one more competitor to gauge on her way to opening her own club.

What is new, on the other hand, is the intervention of the bar's owner. Lisa isn't used to humans trying to protect her, and she finds Brett strangely endearing. For his part, Brett isn't all that comfortable being around a vampire, but now that he has thrown out the lout who was insulting Lisa, he can hardly ask her to leave. After getting to know her a little, however, he starts seeing the woman beyond the fangs, and when she returns the next night he's ready to share a dance with her…or even a little more….

Your age or position in life doesn't matter. If you know deep within that God will receive all the glory, release it. Always surround yourself with those who are encouragers.
