Eden Black is the next exciting character in the alien huntress series that started with the Naughty Girl of Summer, Mia Snow, in Awaken Me Darkly. Eden Black walks among humans, protecting them from the murderous evil of other-worlders who abduct and enslave. And though she appears to be human herself, Eden is an alien, a Raka, distinguished by her golden hair and skin, and gifted with the ominous ability to kill without remorse—and with total accuracy. That is, until the fateful night she has one shot to eliminate her target, a human slaver—and misses. "Failure" is not in Eden''s vocabulary. Neither is "partner," but that''s what she is forcibly assigned after recovering from her disastrous mission. A sexy, steely-nerved human agent, Lucius Adaire enjoys nothing more than sparking the fury—and rousing the desire—of the fiery female assassin too proud to admit defeat. Locked in an assignment they cannot afford to lose, Lucius and Eden find themselves bound in two high-stakes, heart-pounding games: the sensual web of kill or be killed, and the erotic dance of seduction.

Mia Snow, part of an elite task force within the New Chicago Police Department, must stalk an alien serial killer who is preying upon humans. Her prime suspect, an alien, is also the only man she''s ever loved.
