Book SynopsisValerius isn''t a popular Dark-Hunter-he''s a Roman, which means that the largely Greek Hunters have a major grudge against him and his civilization for superceding them. To make things worse, he''s very conscious of his aristocratic background and breeding. So it serves him right when he runs into Tabitha Devereaux. She''s sassy, sexy, and completely unwilling to take him seriously. (Not to mention that she''s the twin sister of the wife of former Dark-Hunter Kyrian-Val''s mortal enemy.) What Tabitha does take seriously is hunting and killing vampires-and soon she and Val have to grapple with the deadliest of all Daimons-one who''s managed to come back from the dead, and one who holds a serious grudge against both of them. To win against evil, Val will have to loosen up, learn to trust, and put everything on the line to protect a man he hates and a woman who drives him nuts.
