Synopsis:
"I'll take this hot assassin named Rukh trying to kill me any day;)
Oh yeah, he was that hot." -- Bitten by Paranormal Romance review, 2011


Rukh
O'Shay, half-djinn and assassin, is used to taking out the bad guys.
But his latest assignment, Sarah White, is nothing like he expected. A
glimpse of her bright aura reveals her gentle spirit, while her luscious
beauty clouds his mind and makes him long for only one thing--to taste
her. Sarah shares the feeling of raw desire at Rukh's touch. He can turn
her on with a glance, and satisfies desires she didn't even know she
had. But Rukh had been hired to kill her--and the only way to save her
is to find out who wants her dead before someone else finishes the
job....


EXCERPT:
Sarah's eyes popped open and she staggered back with a yell.

His arms tightened around her, steadying her, keeping her close. Well, shit. At least, she'd stopped crying.

Fear-bright green eyes stared at him instead.

Given
he was an assassin, sent to kill her, her response was natural, even
intelligent. Yet, bitterness churned in his gut at the thought of her
fearing him.

"It's okay," he whispered. "You're safe."

"Am I hallucinating?" Her question came out as a croak.

"Yes, yes you are." That seemed a much better answer than the truth.

She pinned him with her dark, direct gaze. "You're just a figment of my imagination. A fantasy?"

"Yes." He didn't dare move.

"Then why are you still wearing clothes?"

Unfortunately, while Roman is both ancient and invulnerable, Evie is flesh and blood. Just as Roman decides that he and Evie have a date with destiny, for reasons of their own, an ancient god and a homicidal vampire take an equally strong interest in her.

Can Roman fight off the incredible forces that would have Evie as their own long enough to win her heart, or will destiny betray him and destroy everything he has ever dreamed of?
