The Vampire's Partner — Jordan K. Rose

With Panthera Laboratories running again The Vampire Guard has no choice but to return to Central City. Pretending to be lovers Hunter and Alice are sent in to do reconnaissance. But pretending to be something they both wish was real proves harder than they expect.

All logical thought tells Alice there's no reason to mix business with pleasure unless you're looking for a problem. Like every other girl who notices Hunter, she fantasizes about him. But becoming a member of his haram is not one of her life goals, neither is being forced to return to a life on the street. If there's one sure-fire way of jeopardizing her career with The Guard and losing everything she's worked so hard to attain, it's by sleeping with her partner. The only problem is she can't get her heart to believe logic or reason.

What is happening to Hunter? Is he losing his touch -- his vampire touch? In all his years Hunter has never encountered anyone who could resist his vampire influence. Not until Alice. She's also the only human to ever best him in a sparring match, but that was beginners luck and had nothing to do with the fact that he couldn't stop thinking of how he wished she would see him as more than just a partner at work. No woman has ever awakened these feelings and no woman has ever denied him. He'll do anything to persuade her to be his partner for life, love and eternity.
