SummaryTheir fiery love could overpower the enemy...or destroy
them both.
Once the self-indulgent, hedonistic heir to the Phoenician
throne, Prince Talen Jacek has lived a cursed existence for
over two thousand years, sacrificing his life so that
strangers may live. Suffering one violent death after
another, though, is nothing compared to the soul-eating
agony of the emotional isolation he endures. Until he sets
his eyes on the enemy's next victim.
Every morning, computer programmer Keri Maddox gets up, goes
through her daily grind, and returns home to a frozen meal
and a book before bed. Her life may not be filled with
glamour or excitement, but predictability is her mantra.
Then she discovers Talen in her apartment wearing only a
towel—and suddenly her safe and tidy world is yanked
from under her feet.
An inferno of carnal need erupts between them, hotter than
the phoenix's fire. Yet the power of their igniting love may
not be enough to save Keri from a killer who's determined to
deliver the inevitable death stroke.
