Hunger's Desire — Daisy Dunn

Nerida was an ancient warrior for the Orion vampire tribe. She served her clan faithfully but longed for more. She had searched for over one thousand years for her Healer, soul mate to the vampire, to no avail. One night, she felt his presence, her healer was within reach. He called to her soul, and she responded by frantically searching for him. She desperately needed to make him fall in love with her. Only then would she transform him into the vampire lover fate ordained him to be. Jesse Turner was an attractive fireman paramedic, who had built an impenetrable wall around his heart. A chance encounter had brought them together, and he was drawn to her with a fiery passion. However, with his vow to keep women away, he fought with his desire for this particular woman. He knew he needed to walk away and never look back.
