Reaper's Dark Kiss — Ryssa Edwards

SkyLynne Jordan is a tough, street-savvy reporter for an online journal. She's interviewed drug lords and assassins -- and lived. But Julian, the tall, dark and slightly frightening stranger who shows up in Central Park when she's stalking the mysterious Fang Killer, is like nobody she's ever met before. It's not so much his warning that the killer is too much for her Taser as the way this man's very presence sends a jolt of lust through her demanding, “Take him!”

Julian has spent millennia as a Shadow World Reaper, standing against vampire rogues to protect humans from destruction. His kind mate for life, and his heightened senses tell him that Sky is his forever mate. Her body haunts his dreams. Making Sky his mate drives Julian to take risks he's never taken, and in the end he'll battle the worst of the worst for the woman he's grown to love.
