Longest Days

Daniel had been a mercenary longer than his soul could take. On that final job, looking down at the face of an angel whose death he'd been responsible for, he knew he was done. And although he hadn't pulled the trigger on the bullets that took her life, he felt like he had. He'd buried her in a hidden grave in the Canadian woods so no one would desecrate her lovely body. From the mission site in Vancouver, he'd headed north to the most inhospitable place he could think of to try to find peace that he knew he didn't deserve. But after a year of dreams, her face was as vivid as it had been that day. There would be no peace for a guilty man.

Eillia had been killed and buried. Buried by someone who did not know she was vampire... that bullets would not kill her forever. But beheading would. Which is how her centuries-long love affair with Hamid ended in an attack a year ago. She didn't know how to pick up the pieces of her life without him. All she wanted was to crawl back in a hole like the one she'd crawled out of that day. And she had. Lost, in pain, she'd gone north and buried herself in the land of the midnight sun until darkness came and she thought that maybe she might be able to think about living her life again.

See how it plays out for a vampire and human who should never have met at all.
