Longed-For Hunger — Marisa Chenery

Book Three in the Ra's Chosen Series

Denger is a hunter, spending his nights on the streets of Phoenix fighting the undead who threaten unknowing humans around them. It's in his blood. It's what he knows. But a new knowledge has taken hold. Like other warriors before him, he must hunt for a different kind of prey altogether. His mate. Once he finds her, nothing will keep him from claiming what is his. Nothing but her, that is.

After the death of her husband three years ago, Nyx is content to spend her evenings at home, wrapped up in the vampire romance novels she loves. But when she collides, literally, with a man who could have stepped out of the pages of her books, she begins to think that living her love life through books may not be the way to go. But as with any good story, there's a plot twist. Once she discovers Denger's true nature, she must decide if she can risk her heart and live a life where truth is stranger than fiction.
