She's a cop, unprepared for what she finds in an abandoned building...
When police officer Sarah Petit investigates a disturbance in an abandoned building, she expects to find a few underage drinkers. Instead, she's attacked by creatures straight out of a horror movie.
He's a soldier, inescapably attracted to his latest recruit...
Waking a week later in a hospital, Sarah is recruited by Special Forces soldier Captain Xavier Beauvoir. The so-called zombies who attacked Sarah are the result of military research gone terrifyingly wrong, and Sarah's immunity to the virus makes her the perfect person to help Xavier eradicate them. But his smooth Cajun accent, whiskey-colored eyes, and dizzying kiss are risky to her in a very different way.
Together, they'll face danger, and find love...
Sarah attracts danger like a magnet—and the smart, fearless cop attracts Xavier too, instilling a soul-deep need in him. Enlisting her aid is a necessary gamble, but vicious undead creatures are not the only enemy they face. And the only way to keep each other safe is to trust in an instant connection that could be their greatest strength—or the perfect way to destroy them both...
The Guardians of the Dark series starts with the short novel called Simon Says. It continues in the much longer novels, Once Bitten, Night Shade and Shadow Play. There's a novella-length story called Smoke on the Water, that is set during the events of Night Shade and therefore fits between this book and the next full-length novel. The three longer novels are all close to 100,000 words of action-packed sexy military romance. Check the end of this book for a complete list of books by Bianca D'Arc, in series order.

Praise for Bianca D'Arc
"I thought it was very cool and creepy the way Bianca built her military world around the zombie outbreak... Very different! Nice job!" - Author Lisa Kessler on Once Bitten, Twice Dead
"It is fast paced and full of action. One of the best I've read..." - Amazon reviewer on Once Bitten, Twice Dead
"...what a great find! I like a touch of sci-fi-fantasy with a little science and romance mixed in. This was good for all three -- I like that there was a scientific reason (well, oops scientific mistake) behind the existence of the zombies. Excellent read..." - Amazon reviewer on Once Bitten, Twice Dead
"...the story grabs you and then doesn't let you go." - GoodReads reviewer on Once Bitten, Twice Dead
