Eternal Temptation — K.G. Inglis

"The epic tale continues in book 4 of the Eternal series. As a Buddhist monk for more than five hundred years, Narayan's life had been simple, disciplined-just the way he liked it. Then two years ago, his life changed. He no longer had the monastery to shelter him against the temptations of life . . . or his vampiric nature. Even so, he was determined to maintain his disciplined lifestyle, including chastity. That is until his best friend, Paige, is forced to drink an elixir incompatible with her Lycan genetics. Placed in an impossible position, he must abandon his celibacy to ease her suffering until they can find her a cure. But lowering his self-imposed barriers awakens emotions inside him he's not equipped to deal with, and the very foundation he's built his life on begins to crumble. Ever the optimist, Paige still believes in fairytale endings. However, when she became the guest of Wyvern leader Bordan, she never imagined her life could turn into the nightmare she now finds herself in. Torn between her body's needs and her guilt for making Narayan break his vows, Paige finds herself even more conflicted when she realises what she really needs from him is the one thing he can't offer her-his heart. As Narayan and Paige race against time to find a cure, more than one life hangs in the balance. Bordan's declining mental state and hidden agenda has finally come to light, threatening the peace in Fey. A battle is looming, and the clock keeps ticking . . . tick, tick, tick ""It is a magnificent magical world full of supernatural entertainment; erotically romantic, dramatically adventurous, intriguingly thrilling, mysteriously suspenseful, topped off with a heavy sprinkling of humor woven throughout each standalone book in the Eternal Series. It surpassed my every reading and eye candy expectation"" (Goodreads)."
