A Kiss with Death - Death & Destiny, #1

CarterI couldn't remember the last time I'd craved the touch of a living person so badly. This woman was irresistible to me, and yet I couldn't allow myself to have her. Supernaturals like her didn't belong with a thing like me. While I didn't take the souls of the dead to the afterlife or drag the evils of the world into Hell, I did something much worse. For her safety, it was paramount for me to stay away.
Then, her father came to me, demanding I bring her home. As a member of the vampire council, telling him to go shove it wasn't an option nor a war I wanted to wage. I had left that life long behind me. Now, it's a race against time to retrieve the daughter he'd lost, to save her from a fate worse than death-I should know because that's what I was. But this woman could break me, and I just might let her. TempestI couldn't remember the last time I hadn't craved death so badly.
A longing that seemed everlasting and never to be fulfilled. When that fulfillment never came, I ran. I ran until I couldn't anymore and for me that was saying a lot - a vampire wasn't easily tired. It was the wolf that had first called out to me from the darkness. Then, it was him-a monster. The two of them instilled in me the will to live once again, but my heart wasn't sure where to go from there.
In a race against time, I was forced to come to terms with the past that rattled me and the demons I kept. When what's mine was threatened, would I be enough to wage the war that's brewing?
