Once Tia Martell was a police officer but the deaths and depravity that were a normal part of her job sickened her until she quit. Nowadays she tries to make a living as a photographer with her latest assignment to take pictures of the stately homes in Natchez, Mississippi. It is at Bishop House that she meets the magnetically attractive Dallas Aldgate.

They become involved when Tia snaps photos of a hit and run accident that is somehow connected to Dallas. Despite his better judgment, Dallas has a hard time fighting his feelings for Tia, and soon brings her into his own world of the vampire in order to save her life. Dallas has made an enemy of his own kind, one who will do anything to destroy Dallas and all he cares about.

DOUBLE IMAGE is a fascinating vampire novel focusing on a creature struggling to with the tough and evil image he expects of himself. Tia is a heroine in every sense of the word because of her ability to look beneath the surface and see the true reality of a person and not the projection her beloved portrays. Fans of the paranormal will want to read Jaye Roycraft's cleverly crafted novel.
