Fire and Blood — Cadence Denton

Jeannette's life sucks. An outcast orphan addicted to junky blood, she is desperate for a chance at redemption. She's the most powerful of her Firewalker race, but that's not saying much since the Firewalkers are on the verge of extinction thanks to Jeannette's disastrous mistakes. For centuries she's searched for her personal unicorn, the elusive Fecund, the Firewalkers' human mates. He's out there…somewhere. She lost everything family, fortune…her future when the ruling Council of Seven declared her a traitor for her part in the genocide of the Fecund race. Her desperation is understandable simply because the Council refuses to believe that she was set up by the Revenant vampire, Alexander the Great. Devin McIntyre's life imploded eleven years ago when his twenty-first birthday celebration collided with a blood sucker named, Alexander. With his parents slaughtered and his twin sisters taken by the psychotic vampire, Devin turned to the ultra-secret Society for Eternal Illumination for training in urban warfare and help with confronting his demons. In a dilapidated hotel in Jackson, Mississippi he set a trap, certain he'd tracked down his old, old enemy. Finally, he'd get vengeance and find his sisters. Instead, Devin uncovers a myth. When a long-legged beauty walks through a wall of fire, Devin's beliefs are shattered. When Jeannette tastes his Fecund blood after centuries believing his race extinct, she knows she has found a priceless treasure. From their first kiss, their first intimate touch, Jeannette realizes that in Devin, she's found salvation. This human male can save a race that is balancing on the precipice of extinction. But, when allies become enemies and havens become traps, she suspects her "treasure" has his own agenda.
