Unforgiven

by Barbara J. Hancock

The problem with fighting evil is it often comes in a very attractive package.Orphaned when vampires massacred her family, Jade has been trained as an elite Haven’s Warrior. She is pure, untouched and focused on revenge. Sheltered in a remote mountain temple, Jade has known nothing but discipline her entire life.Dillon is as undisciplined as they come, a rogue vampire with rock-star style and a cowboy’s whisky-kissed drawl. He also has a penchant for nicotine, vodka and women—especially women. He’s found a certain tedium to immortality until he tastes Jade’s lips. He’s been through hell more than once in his two hundred and fifty years, but this is the cruelest blow of all—to become a monster who craves a woman’s trust.Life’s a bitch and then you don’t die.
