He’s out to set the world on fire. She’s the only one who can tame him.
Blaze Knight has been through hell and back, but the nightmares aren’t over yet.
Five years after being maimed and tortured by vampires, Blaze is still picking up the pieces of his shattered life. As a genetically-engineered hybrid mercenary, his mission is to protect what’s left of humanity. When his tormentors return to the Bronx gunning for Blaze’s blood, he’s forced to face the demons of his past. Hell-bent on revenge, he seeks the help of Valerie Medeiros, an NYPD detective who manages to steal his heart and save his life in more ways than one.
Motivated by her sister’s gruesome death, Valerie’s life goal is to bury every vampire in the ground where they belong. She has a hard time trusting anything with fangs, yet she falls headlong into Blaze’s life, a life full of darkness and horror she can’t even begin to fathom. The bodies are stacking up, but Valerie can’t let go of this hybrid, a beautiful monster filled with pain, rage, and passion unlike anything she’s ever known.
In a world where the line between good and evil is blurred, Blaze and Valerie will find danger at every turn, risking everything they’ve come to know and love, including one another.

SEXY EXCERPT:
His body hardened, his heart thumping in his chest. If that wasn’t enough, the stirring low in his belly sure as hell was.
He wanted her. Badly.
And so did the leech inside him.
“Blaze?” She peered at him with concern, taking a step closer.
He snapped out of it, realizing she’d asked him something he completely missed. “Huh?”
“Do you want some coffee? Something to drink? Eat?”
Yeah, you. He swallowed his saliva, straightening. “I should get going.”
“Oh.” Her disappointment was obvious. She wants you to stay. “Where are you heading?”
“Probably home for a few hours. Rest up a bit.” And drink about a gallon of blood while thinking of you. “You know.”
Valerie set what he assumed was the bag of coffee on the counter. She took another step toward him as a wave of jasmine swept over him, tugging him in places he shouldn’t be tugged.
He reflexively drew back. Goddamn it, he was fine. He’d been level right up until now. What the hell just happened?
Bad idea, Blaze. Bad fucking idea to starve yourself and walk into her apartment at dusk, with that body, and that face, and those eyes, and that scent . . .
“I’ll show myself out.”
She looked entirely confused as he pivoted and headed for the door. Christ, he was acting like he’d never been in a woman’s apartment before, and God knew he’d been in many. But he’d never been this hungry around a female before—at least, not in ordinary circumstances. And he wasn’t famous for his control.
That ugly darkness spread inside him, coursing through his veins, his lips and other parts of him tingling with it. The leech inside him unhinged its jaws and yawned, sucking down what was left of his civility. His gums tightened, milking his canines, urging them to grow, to elongate.
To spring free.
“Blaze—”
He needed to get out. Now.
“I’ll see you in the morning,” he ground out, his voice a near growl. “Good night, Val.”
He slammed the door behind him and managed to stagger ten paces down the hall before his limbs stopped working.
Sweat dripped down his neck and trickled down his spine. His hands shook and he clenched them into fists. He stood there, chest heaving, fangs pulsing, cock throbbing. Closing his eyes, he lifted his face toward the ceiling, trying to wrestle the monster down, struggling to beat it back into submission.
But it was too late.
Through the din in his ears, Blaze heard a door click behind him, disengaging from its frame. It creaked open slowly as jasmine slithered down the hallway, rising up and striking at his senses, delivering the final blow. He craned his head and spotted her, a predator glimpsing his prey.
Valerie’s blond hair fell in a curtain as she peeked out, searching for him. Her eyes widened when she found him, still looming in the corridor, and she quickly retreated.
“Sorry,” she uttered, but before she closed the door, he propped his boot against it.
She gazed up at him with pleasant surprise. “Blaze, I—”
He didn’t give her a chance to finish. He seized her mouth with his before he slammed the door behind him and locked it shut.
