Shapes in the Blood — Kim Knox

Aila Parry is a disaster waiting to happen.

Bad luck dogs her, has followed her all her life, ever since her grandmother's heated warning when she was only three years old. Food spoils, metal stresses and breaks, equipment fails…and people are wary of her, forming strange hatreds, or worse -- shunning her completely. Men run scared.

Which is why her colleague, Nathan Ahern's carnal interest stuns -- and delights -- her. But Nathan is not all that he appears to be. And the only need he has for Aila is the desire to spill her blood. Matt Kinnon, a tempting stranger, a man compelled to guard the human race from creatures like Nathan, offers her protection. And more than that. His dark beauty tugs at her, promising an irresistible -- and forbidden -- wickedness.

But can she trust herself with a man who is as much a demon as the one who wants her dead?
