DRIFT — Elle Beauregard

Drake was watching me go, his hands balled into fists at his side. In his eyes, he looked as torn and desperate as I felt. The door closed between us.

Alone in a strange city, Leah is forced to find safety among a group of Civilized Immortals she's never met and isn't sure she can trust. When her alignment with them presents the opportunity to help the rest of her kind, Leah must also find the courage to face fears bigger than a bunch of polite vampires.

But something isn't right: Leah can't sleep, can't eat and can't think of anything other than Drake's pervasive absence as he negotiates for custody of his seven-year-old cousin. With no word, and no contact, Leah is at her wits' end. And just when she thinks things can't get any worse, they do. Big time.
