The Darkling Hunters — Rhiannon Ayers

For darkling hunters Dex Peterson and Sam Spencer, working for the Darkling Eradication Agency means putting their lives on the line every single day. They're used to tracking down soulless monsters and burying them in an early grave. But when their new assignment lands them smack in the middle of a darkling turf war, they realize their military experience and government backing won't be nearly enough to survive the crossfire.

Enter Sydney Carpenter, a bad-ass, no-nonsense, wait-right-there-so-I-can-come-kick-your-ass warrior woman with more than enough experience to take down the darkling horde. She's saved their bacon more times than they can count, and having her on their team will almost guarantee victory. If this was nothing but a routine mission, the three of them could wipe the floor with these depraved monstrosities and call it a day.

But this is anything but a routine mission. Love, lust, and deadly secrets have the power to destroy even the best-laid plans. For the three of them to survive, they'll not only have to accept their unspoken need for each other, they'll have to put it all on the line to save the mission -- and their souls. And when Sydney finally reveals a terrifying secret, they'll have to face the reality that nothing in their world is as it seems.
