Here's the dust jacket copy...

With her New York Times bestselling Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novels, Laurell K. Hamilton wraps readers up in stories of suspense and sensuality. Cerulean Sins is no exception. Now, Anita learns what it's like to be at the new end of a centuries old bloodline--and just how far she'll let herself get pushed around...

How the mightly have fallen! Once a sworn enemy of all vampires, Anita is now the human consort of both Jean-Claude, the Master Vampire, and Micah, the leopard shapeshifter. But her love life doesn't stop there. It can't. For Anita--not quite as human as she once was--is consumed by both the lusts of the vampire and the primal hungers of the wereleopards. Desires that must be sated--time and time again...

But it is Jean-Claude who needs her now. His oldest ancestor has sent one of her vicious and powerful underlings to St. Louis, putting Jean-Claude and his clan on the defensive. Unsure of where she stands with the interloper, Anita finds herlself tested as never before--needing all the dark forces her passion can muster to save the ones she loves the most...
