Sword and Shadow
Vampires are immune to many things. Apparently love isn't one of them.
Assigned to monitor a backwater version of Earth, Raven enjoys his job immensely. Play at being a native, watch for operatives of the voracious Cen Empire, and keep an eye out for evil mages. Not too difficult for the undead hero of the Cen War. It's almost like a vacation.
Unfortunately, when he stumbles upon a cache of advanced weapons, he is forced to report that fact back to headquarters, who in turn send him an agent trained in such matters?the vibrant, vivacious, and utterly aggravating Valerie Winn?to deal with the problem.
On her first solo assignment for the Technological Activities Unit (TAU), Val can't help but take her job seriously. But dealing with the legendary Raven's maddening disrespect for any rules but his own pushes her patience to the breaking point.
Even though they strike sparks from one another, they have to learn to work together. The seemingly simple assignment turns out to be much more important than anyone realized. The fate of a thousand versions of Earth might well hang in the balance.
Part of this title was previously released as part of a series.

About the author
Saje Williams
14 books9 followersSaje considers himself a Northwest native, despite having lived his early years in places as far flung as Hawaii and California. Some of his earliest memories involve hippies and concerts on the Stanford campus, but swears this hasn't influenced him all that much.
He was raised on SF and Fantasy, though he pretty much read anything he could lift off the shelf. If he looks familiar and you think "hey, maybe I went to school with him," you very well might be right. He went to 9 different junior highs in 3 states and 7 different high schools in 2 states.
He has two teenage children who live elsewhere, a spouse who lives with him, and entirely too many fur-bearing critters underfoot.

Infinity Project book in which Raven (a vampire-like immortal) meets his match in Valerie (a human from the TAU). Guilty pleasure read that could have used more background information in the actual story.
